We invite you to a portuguese cultural evening where it will be displayed a portuguese film of the most famous film director from Portugal, Manoel de Oliveira. He turns 100 years old this year and the guy is still working. There will be some portuguese food and wine and some video clips of portuguese artists as well. It´s free the entrance and we would really like to have you over. You can contact the following number for further information 22167280.

Portuguese-born Manoel de Oliveira has been turning out nearly a film a year since the early 1980s. He is considered boring by some, and most of his films have never been commercially distributed in the United States. Yet when he clicks, he clicks well. His 2002 film I’m Going Home was my pick for the year’s best picture, and now he’s done it again with A Talking Picture.

True to its title, A Talking Picture is very chatty, and its visual schematics so primitive and subtle that they might pass by without notice. In a strange way, it’s almost, but not quite, funny. It begins as a beautiful history professor, Rosa Maria (Leonor Silveira), and her 7 year-old daughter, Joanna (Filipa de Almeida), embark on a cruise around the Mediterranean, taking in all the historical sights (the Acropolis, the pyramids, etc.).

The professor explains both history and myths to her daughter, and the daughter dutifully asks questions for clarification. Along the way, they meet other people who contribute tidbits and factoids. After each stop, the pair boards the boat and watches all the people on shore waving goodbye. On board, the ship’s captain (John Malkovich) gathers for dinner with three distinguished middle-aged women: a businesswoman (Catherine Deneuve), a singer/actress (Irene Papas) and a model (Stefania Sandrelli). Each speaks in a different language (English, French, Italian and Greek) but each understands enough of the other to be comfortable with this situation. They discuss language, history, love and other matters of great sophistication and intelligence.

By this point, the film has lulled us into a sense of comfort. This, truly, is a spectacular planet, full of fascinating history and intelligent people. We have come so far in our time here. And then Oliveira hits us with the film’s shocking closer, an act so devastating and frustrating that no more words can possibly mean anything. The great filmmaker leaves us with a frozen image and silence.

Contamos connvosco!! We count on you!!
