Pedro Costa’s latest is another in his story of the Fontainhas, the Lisbon neighborhood of Cape Verdean immigrants, following In Vanda’s Room, Ossos, Colossal Youth and Horse Money. It’s about a woman who is finally able to fly to Lisbon to see her husband, but arrives shortly after his funeral. I haven’t seen it yet, but Evan caught it at the Toronto Film Festival last year at wrote about it at The Georgia Straight. He was mixed on the film, but noted that Costa’s “images are as striking as any in contemporary cinema; they are incredible things to witness on a movie screen”.
