Agustina Bessa-Luís

이탈리아 북부, 폰 케텐은 먼 나라 포르투갈에서 신붓감을 찾아 나선다. 신혼여행을 마치고 고향으로 돌아온 그는 주교를 물리칠 기회가 왔다는 소식을 듣곤 집을 떠나 전장으로 발길을 옮긴다. 그와 혼인한 포르투갈 여성은 고국으로 돌아가라는 남편의 뜻을 거절하고 10년 넘게 성에 머문다.

감독이 73세에 만든 이 작품은 그가 40년 동안 살았던 집을 배경으로 감독의 개인사와 포르투갈의 역사가 교차하며 보여진다. 이야기 속으로 관객을 안내하는 감독의 생전 모습을 다시 볼 수 있다는 것만으로도 감동적이다. (2016년 제17회 전주국제영화제)

This French language drama from Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira takes an ironic look at the pretentiousness of international jet-setters while simultaneously examining an obsessive romantic relationship between an aging Lothario and a beautiful married woman. The tale begins at a garden party in a lovely villa in the Azores held by Rogerio and Leonor for handsome, middle-aged Michel and his mistress Irene, a noted Greek movie star. The guests aren't there long before an obvious attraction between Leonor and Michel prompts them to head for a private beach (their tryst, if there was one, occurs off-camera). Five years later, the foursome again meet for a garden party and once again they pair off after spending much time discussing gender differences, emotion, social insight and exchanging witty bon mots.
