About Portuguese Rhapsody
A synthesis of the life and soul of Portugal, with the sea, the river, the mountains, the plains, and the people who dance and work, cry and laugh, are born and die. From the Minho to the Algarve, distant places, sometimes difficult to access, were chosen for their beauty and picturesque, to figure in a register that allies realism to poetry?
Directed by João Mendes, Portuguese Rhapsody leans on a strong ensemble — Pedro Moutinho — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1959.
