casa de lava (1994)

De amanhã a oito, na BAM Cinematek, em Brooklyn, às 6.50pm. O filme de Pedro Costa com introdução do crítico Dennis Lim. Anunciado com antecedência para não haver esquecimentos; especialmente da minha parte.

"This documentary-inflected, dream-like narrative follows Mariana, a young Portuguese nurse as she accompanies a comatose Cape Verdean migrant construction worker back to his barren, economically depressed island homeland. As she struggles to fit in and piece together the man's elusive history, a larger, shared discourse of displacement surfaces, accompanied by the ghosts of a complex post-colonial history."
