A Portuguese Film

I these days ( 2001, December ) portuguese movies aren't made by amateurs anymore. Instead, there are good people dealing with them. "Ranganço" is a story about a series of horrendus crimes, in Coimbra, the town of students, fado and "capas negras". There are great scenes with the sunset of Coimbra, the famous university, and alot of Coimbra's traditions appears in the film. If you want to visit Coimbra, this is the movie that you want to see, to capture some interesting places for your visit.

Congratulations to Raquel Freire (Director), and Paulo Branco ( Productor ), for their nice work.

Keep up the good work. :)
