A Portuguesa: Directed by Rita Azevedo Gomes. With Clara Riedenstein, Marcello Urgeghe, Ingrid Caven, Rita Durão. His home is war. Her home is Portugal. Yet the young, newly married wife of Lord von Ketten is determined to make her husband’s family abode, an inhospitable castle on a cliff in northern Italy, into her home.
“The pace of life of those not at war is slow – in fact, it is so slow that Time is a main character in the screenplay and should have been paid a salary. The servants, always at the beck and call, have little to do waiting on her ladyship who at least has her leisure to keep her occupied. However, there are scenes of rural settings that help alleviate the press of time somewhat as does an excellent soundtrack.”
