A Portuguese Farewell / Um Adeus Português (1986) João Botelho, Isabel de Castro, Ruy Furtado, Maria Cabral, Fernando Heitor

rarefilm — Mon, 26 Apr 2021 12:07:36 +0000

PORTUGUESE AFRICA, 1973. Slowly, we have plenty of time: the words of the Second Lieutenant to the small band of soldiers he commands. A land mine exploding on the forest track, the patrol lost in the forest. The death of a soldier, shots in the night. Involved in a war in which the enemy is never seen, the mud-splattered soldiers methodically carry out the final pilgrimage without bitterness or glory, the tame farewell of a generation to five centuries of Portuguese presence in Africa: a story of war.

PORTUGAL, 1985. Raul and Piedade, small farmers from Minho, go to visit Lisbon. They see Alexandre, their second son, again and visit Laura, the widow of their first son killed twelve years before in the war in Africa. The family is together again but it will never be even a shadow of what it was before. Marked by time, the memory that once united them is now only pain and silence. Life is like that, according to the personalities involved. They are not bitter, but accept things as they are and smile. Raul and Piedade go back to their home in the north, but Laura and Alexandre have nowhere to return to: a story of peace.

Biography

Following graduation from the Escola de Cinema at Portugal’s Conservatorio Nacional in 1976, João Botelho is best known for his internationally acclaimed adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic novel Hard Times, Tempos Dificeis (1987). Botelho became interested in film while studying engineering. He abandoned engineering studies to attend film school, and shortly after graduation found occasional work as a graphic artist and film critic, as well as founding a short-lived film magazine. Botelho made his directorial debut with the documentary Um Projecto de Educação/A Project for Popular Education, which he co-helmed with Jorge Alves da Silva. He directed his first solo effort, Conversa Acabada/The Conversation Is Over, in 1981. For Tempos Dificeis, Botelho received prizes from the 1987 Venice Film Festival. In 1994, Botelho was commissioned to make a film about Portugal’s most famous city, Lisbon, to celebrate its designation as a European capital of culture. The film was part of a trilogy, each one depicting part of a typical day in Lisbon. Botelho’s film Tres Palmieras covered the hours of six a.m. to two p.m. and was comprised of a series of interesting short vignettes. Botelho did not make another film until Trafico (1998). ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The Other One (1981) Conversa Acabada

rarefilm — Fri, 26 Jun 2020 23:12:03 +0000

The film was to be a documentary, but evolved during production to a fictional film. It nevertheless adheres strictly to the poems and letters exchanged by two of the most outstanding names of the Modernist Movement, Fernando Pessoa (in Lisbon) and Mário de Sá-Carneiro (in Paris). Their endless conversation was dramatically and suddenly terminated.

Directors: João Botelho, Fernando Cabral Martins

The Fatalist (2005) João Botelho, Rogério Samora, André Gomes, Rita Blanco, Suzana Borges

rarefilm — Fri, 31 May 2019 13:45:48 +0000

Everything good or bad that happens to us “down here” is written “up there”. This is the phrase most loved by Tiago (a translation of Jacques, because it comes from the saints), a chauffeur by profession, in order to justify his surprising action when he drives his boss through a strange Portugal in the delirious and endless story of his love-affairs.

Her deep sleep is disturbed by terrible ghosts and hallucinations: about the decadence of the Portuguese XVII century, the Jesuits’s power and the terrible Inquisition.

Tráfico / Traffic (1998) João Botelho, Joaquim Oliveira, Rita Blanco, Adriano Luz, Branca de Camargo, Comedy

rarefilm — Mon, 30 May 2016 09:48:43 +0000

It all begins when an average family (slightly chilly because they’re forced to take their vacation out of season) is struck by good fortune.

Director: João Botelho
Writer: João Botelho
Actors: Joaquim Oliveira, Rita Blanco, Adriano Luz, Branca de Camargo

Jesus the couple’s young son, finds a hidden and forbidden treasure in the sands of a deserted beach: the wealth of the hearth.

The same day, and not so far away, two priests decide to close the doors to their church due to lack of a congregation, and auction off the images of their beloved saints.

Between the wealth of the heavens and the spirit of matter they embark on an adventure. A banker with auditory hallucinations when he talks about money.

The replies of a minister with visual hallucinations when influences are concerned.

An elegant, suave and mysterious woman, with a beatiful wig and splendid colors, excites everything wherever she goes.
A general dealing with arms trafficking and his little wife dealing with arts, Olympuses and ridiculous hair.

A crazy cast of numerous characters… and even more adventures.

Tráfico is a tangled tale about how the true and old rich people have fun, how the new and false rich people encounter difficulties and how everything ends up well…

“Time Out” wrote:
Even by his own often eccentric standards, this absurdist comedy finds Botelho (Hard Times, Three Palms) in high spirits, merrily resurrecting the spirit of Buñuel with a series of very loosely linked surreal episodes. Anti-clericalism is rife, but there’s also a good deal of fun at the expense of the nouveaux riches, and the old rich too. It’s shot in saturated Day-Glo reds and blues, and that’s just the wigs. Genuinely bizzare.
