Summary
"Organized by tropes and topics, rather than chronological order, this volume creates a unique lens with which to focus on the links between cinema, literature, painting, and other art forms in Manoel de Oliveira's work. Hajnal Király reads the films in relation to 20th-century Portuguese, European and global history. Many of Oliveira's over 50 films are discussed, including Rite of Spring (1963) and Eccentricities of a Blonde-haired Girl (2009). The only book to cover his later films, this book uncovers the persistent topics that permeates his oeuvre"-- Provided by publisher.
