Centro Histórico

1: silent melancholic man in his 50’s? Yes please. The aura is great, very grey, sad Wes Anderson-ish. But the story is too basic 2: The story is unique, and deals with guilt, ptsd, memories, revolution/colonialism in a dream world surrounded by a creepy atmosphere. 3: mini doc that makes me say “fuck capitalism, workers of the world unite!” The actor looks like a mix of Dostoevsky and the Unabomber lol 4: boring, I get it, you hate tourists, completely understandable, but do something!

(Viewed in 2015): An omnibus film honoring the city of Guimarães, C.H combines four major talents with conflicting styles with predictably mixed results. Costa's Sweet Exorcist is the clear standout, which in retrospect was merely a preview for Horse Money; it is an early cut of the lengthy elevator sequence with additional material. It's formally stunning, but it's an odd fit and is considerably less effective outside the context of H.M. The other films are decent but nothing special.

Soporific.

32. İstanbul Film Festivali - City's: Avrupa sinemasının dört ustasının kısa filmlerinden oluşan yapım, böyle bir bir filmden beklenmeyecek kadar bütünlüklü. Farklı üsluplar ve temalar, film ilerledikçe birbirleriyle zarifçe iç içe geçiyor.
