Silvestre

Dir. João César Monteiro (1981) | Portugal | Portuguese | 120 min | DCP

Programmed by Sarah

 

João César Monteiro blended folktales Bluebeard and the Portuguese “A Donzela que Vai a Guerra” to create a resplendent, Brechtian atmosphere that lures us into a world full of dangers. Silvia, played by Maria de Medeiros in her earliest role, navigates these trials and finds autonomy in a system built to fail her. Both grounded in the mud of the medieval era and transcendent to the celestial, this is one of Monteiro’s most sublime and delicate works.
