    Film Review - The Strange Case of Angelica (2010) 6.2/10
    "Set in an unspecified modern age (no cellphone or computer on show, the story goes that de Oliveira germinates the script almost six decades earlier, in the 1940s, which can well account for the film's overall démodé tone), Sephardic photographer Isaac (Trêpa, a bland, even anemic leading man), lodging in a town near Porto, is hired to take some photographs of a young lady Angelica (de Ayala), who has just deceased and lies beatifically on her deathbed with an impeccable smile."
