Those two films above have influenced on this one, it is obvious, I don't even imagine how it could be different. It is a bit long yes, no one can deny, but it is really boring because character study is so deep, interesting to analyze, in the pure Latin tradition. Without any music the atmosphere is gripping, engrossing and it is so rare to have a film from Portugal to discover. I could not imagine Hollywood give us such a film, or maybe for Sundance film festival. That's the first time I watch such a movie from Portugal. It is really worth watching, but for not audiences, and that's precisely why I appreciate it. Downbeat at the most. Depressing, gloomy. But terrific.
