“In a country where there is little investment in culture, it is really amazing to see such an amazing portuguese work.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe actrors are impressive, the camera work brilliant and the photography stunning.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are a lot of smart details that might not be obvious for the mainstream viewer but that I absolutely loved, like the motif of the horse (which decline reflects the familiy one) and that the moonlight in the night sequences always lights the person in power within the scene.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only downside in my view is that if the viewer is not portuguese, it can have more difficulty understanding the historical context. However, this movie also deals with timeless issues like family, love, freedom and power.”
