Description
Completed after his 101st birthday, the most recent feature from the unstoppable master of Portuguese cinema uses liberal doses of fantasy to tell another of his elegiac tales of thwarted romance. When the young and beautiful Angelica (López de Ayala) dies, a young photographer (Trêpa, Oliveira’s grandson) is summoned to take her final picture. Angelica magically comes to life, but only when the photographer looks at her through his viewfinder! In Portuguese with English subtitles.
