Overview

The tragedy and comedy in Carlos' life begins, grows and ends like the tragedy and comedy of Portugal. In the company of his close friend, João da Ega, allegedly a brilliant writer, Carlos, with his idle existence as an aristocratic doctor, spends his time to enjoying friends and lovers. Until he falls in love. She is a new character in this revolutionary novel. It's a vertiginous passion that goes beyond that past gloominess to reach a new and darker abyss, incest.

    Written by Filipe Manuel Neto on Thu Aug 03 2023
    **It has weaknesses, but it is still a good film and does not do a disservice to the genius work of Eça de Queirós.** Anyone who knows me knows that I am quite critical of Portuguese cinema.

Overall, the film delivers what it promises: a plot faithful to Eça de Queirós' remarkable novel, in which we explore the tragic history of three generations of a noble Portuguese family while, at the same time, dissecting the country's social elite, which the...
