One of Oliveira's later films. He has had a long and prosperous career, though I must admit I haven't seen many of his films. This is only the second one, and so far, I can't say I'm that impressed. Of course, he made this one at the end of his career, and at a rather respectable age, too. Generally speaking, I'm going to struggle with these types of films.
The cinematography is too classic for my taste, the pacing is too slow (because the styling isn't on point), and some of the conversations felt extremely scripted. There is a little intrigue, and the film is quite short, so it's not the worst thing ever, but I'm pretty sure I won't be remembering this one for long.
