음향 기사인 필립은, 리스본에서 독립영화 제작 중 예술가로서의 막다른 골목에 처한 동료 프리드릭의 의 도와달라는 요청에...그는 포르투갈을 향해 중고차를 몰고 친구의 구조 여정을 떠난다. 힘든 여정 끝에 도착한 프리드릭의 아파트에 본인은 잠적하여 없고, 필립이 접하게되는 것은, 프리드릭이 찍다만 흑백 무성영화, 읽다만 책, 그가 사귄 동네 아이들, 배경음악을 담당할 지방 음악인들이다. 이들을 단서로 프리드릭의 이미지에 맞는 음향 편집을 위해, 필립은 도시를 돌아다니며 소리 채집을 시작한다. 이 영화의 마지막 20분을 남겨 놓고 필립이 드디어 만나게 된 프리드릭은, 컴퓨터 시대의 오염된 쓰레기 이미지를 한탄한다. 그는, 영화사의 재출발을 위해 자신이 시도했던, 원천적 "카메라를 든 사나이"로의 재귀마저도 충분치 않았다며, 순수한 이미지 포착를 위해선, 시각의 주체를 완전히 배제한 촬영 방식 (등에 카메라를 맨 방식)을 시도해야 한다고 선언한다. 이미지 집착이 아닌, 영화 매체의 포괄적인 성격에 이미 익숙해온 필립은, 컴퓨터 시대의 원천적 '녹음기를 든 사나이'로 좀 더 여유가 있다. 그는, 프리드릭에게 남긴 녹음 메세지를 통해, 쓰레기 이미지를 탓하기 보다, 마음의 소리에 귀를 기울이라고 충고한다.

Despite being master of unusual strength and having slept with his wife for a long time, she accused him of being impotent. Marie Françoise had acquired through artfulness what Afonso had lost in anger in the kingdom. She had him imprisoned ( November 1667 ) and quickly obtained a papal bull from Rome to confirm her virginity and bless her marriage to her brother-in-law Pedro.

My Case
Production Design
Manoel de Oliveira plays his film in three stages: the first part - a play, the second can be roughly defined as a silent film (with the behind the scenes read excerpts from Beckett works), but in the end the director brilliantly performs the same material of the avant-garde exercise. Surprisingly, a joke, repeated three times, each time everything sounds fresh and develops into an almost verbatim adaptation of the biblical "Book of Job" - a spectacular point in a parable about how hard to empathize with other people's misery, when you have your own.

A Estrangeira
Production Design
The shady side of an Italian textile trade in northern Germany is the subject of this slow-paced but atmospheric drama featuring Alberto Sordi as Totonno, a low-level, petty criminal anxious to move up a somewhat crooked ladder. Rising to the rank of the "dons" -- Don Raffaele (Carmine Ippolito) or Don Gennaro (Pasquale Cenammo) -- is not an easy task, as Totonno is about to find out. In the meantime, Paula (Belinda Lee) provides a romantic distraction, and another would-be entrepreneur opts for the straight and narrow. This uneven feature offers some colorful performances but the sum is less convincing than its parts.
