Cinema, Manoel de Oliveira and Me. A Film-Tribute to the great filmmaker of Portugal
This film is a journey into Oliveira’s cinema, his method, his way of filming and his extraordinary cinematographic inventions.
The award-winning filmmaker João Botelho had the audacity to film a magnificent story that Manoel loved but never filmed, one that he left behind as if his hand and eyes were close to God, or among the gods, and he was steering Botelho so that even now Oliveira can continue to film through him.
