Trás-os-Montes
On the face of it TRÁS-OS-MONTES is an ethnographic accounting of a famously poverty-stricken rural area of the country, using the journey by foot of two children as connective tissue. The film is an often baffling, impressionistic portrait of Portugal as a country haunted by ghosts, a post-revolutionary attempt to create a national cinema that could come to terms with its own past. Slower than molasses and possessing all the unique pictorial beauty of a film shot in natural light, a soundtrack of broken mutterings and poetic half phrases, fables barely started and then abandoned in the telling, the film is absolutely sui generis.
