A Costa dos Murmúrios (2004)
Love and life are not what she thought they would be when Evita moved from Lisbon to Mozambique, a country on the edge of in-dependency...
During the war of in-dependency Evita (Beatriz Batarda) moves from Lisbon to Mozambique to marry Luís (Filipe Duarte). She slowly discovers how different and disturbing life is in a country of war and when her husband is send on a military mission she starts to fight loneliness. Over time she finds out more about her husband and Mozambique than she would have imagined in her peaceful European home. Racism, violence, injustice and fatalism make life unbearable... (exploring this "insufferableness" makes it a very Portuguese movie)
Beautifully made for a first time... Margarida Cardoso's first full length movie has rich characters, marvelous images and draws a profound picture of life in Mozambique during its struggle of in-dependency (seen from a Portuguese perspective).
Wanda (1970)
Such a wast of time to see these empty personalities
The film is just as boring as the protagonists!
Probably that's meant to be... but who wants to see just how boring the human being can be?
Waste your time a better way!
The Director and main actress is Barbara Loden which means that she probably wanted to make the movie just the way it is. I really wonder what she thinks is fascinating about the life of somebody who is unable to decide the most basic things. Time is just passing by and things happen without any influence of the characters. When I write this here it almost seems philosophical but in the movie it's just not!
Again don't go there if you can help it!
