The less boring Oliveira film..., 18 March 2003
Author: bucklkraxn from Porto, Portugal

Certainly a masterpiece... The old Manoel de Oliveira presented us with a fine comedy, where everything falls apart, very dark humour and questions on the human nature.

The best of Oliveira, even for those who don't like his work.
