Correspondências (2016)

Correspondências: Directed by Rita Azevedo Gomes. With Mário Barroso, Luís Miguel Cintra, Tânia Dinis, Rita Durão. The film was inspired by the letters exchanged between two leading Portuguese poets, Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen and Jorge de Sena, during the exile of the latter (1957-78). Through their poetry and their letters, the film builds a dialogue between longing and belonging, the “desire to fill years of distance with hours of conversation”. At the same time, it establishes a correspondence with our own lives fictionalized under the ties and entanglements that hold us together.

“…not in the life of a commando nor in the universe of TV-shows. To keep it short: Well made, good actors. In regards to the story: We will see. I have only seen the pilot so far and I think itu0026#39;s too soon to make a final verdict.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut I would like to address some of the reviews on this show: u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eSex: I only remember one brief sex scene. And there wasnu0026#39;t even much skin involved. Guys: this is a show about humans and humans have sex – you are the product of such an event neither you like it or not. But hey, Iu0026#39;m from Europe and I will burn in hell for my liberal views anyway… 🙂 u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eu003culu003eu003cliu003eScalping: Do some research. There ARE allegations in this direction. Are they true? I donu0026#39;t know. But obviously itu0026#39;s not totally invented by the writers of the show. I neither apologies their possible doings nor do I condemn them as a whole. However: Is it true, it is distasteful even if the enemy uses similar tactics in psychological warfare. Killing them should be enough and do the trick.u003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003eu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only criticism I have is that the guys are shown as very impulsive and sometimes with low self control. I would assume that thatu0026#39;s not very realistic. But what do I know…”
