Review (1)
Filipe Manuel Neto (Rated: 4)
One of Oliveira's best… but weak, fragile, boring and a little unpatriotic.
I already had the opportunity to see, and review here, more than one film by Manoel de Oliveira, and after having seen this film, I keep my ideas. I have absolutely nothing against the director, I really appreciate hi...
