A Vida Privada de Salazar
Na fase final da vida de Salazar, o estadista recorda a sua vida, as suas opções, as decisões que tomou e as que podia ter tomado.

O mito do estadista estóico, convictamente religioso e assexuado tem o contraponto neste filme.

One crime follows another in a story in which love is stronger than tradition. Everything happens at frenzied pace, as in a game.
Sangue Frio

Filme da Treta
Galhetas
"Filme da Treta" is inspired in a previous work called "Conversa da Treta", which can be translated as "Blather" or "Foolish Talk". In fact it all begun with a radio show (with that name) where two friends, "Toni" and "Zezé", talk about their lives and their neighbourhood (located somewhere in a typical district of Lisbon!). Because of the colloquial and comic language it used to be funny. Then it passed to the stage (kind of a dialog play) and later to a TV-show. As you can see it was a success here in Portugal and the audiences applauded it… Now, the film! "Filme da Treta" is, then, just an adaptation to the movies of this succeeded show, but it was, at least in my point of view, a regression! To be honest it was a disappointment, as I expected a lot more from it. I used to appreciate "Conversa da Treta", but now with the movie it lost all the fun!
La mala hora
Dom Roque
En un pueblo aislado y agobiado por las lluvias torrenciales, los habitantes viven no solamente en la miseria, sino también hostigados por la represión política. Existe una guerra por el poder entre la familia que detenta el control económico de la región y el interventor enviado por el Gobierno central. Por si esto no fuera suficiente, aparecen panfletos anónimos pegados en las puertas de las casas, revelando las intimidades de sus moradores. En medio de este caos, surgen todo tipo de pasiones, traiciones y venganzas, sin que los implicados sepan dónde empieza la verdad y dónde acaba la mentira. Basada en la novela de Gabriel García Márquez La mala hora, la película cuenta una historia de amor y odio en la que el pasado y el futuro se confunden. (FILMAFFINITY)
