Ocean's road movie
by Henrique (movies profile)
Jul 13, 2005
Um filme falado, by Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira, is about learning History. Rosa Maria, a university teacher in Lisboa, goes on a cruise in the company of her little daughter Maria Joana. During the trip, they will visit Marseille, Napoles, Atenas, Istambul, Egypt; Rosa will comment historical facts involving the places they are visiting and curious Joana will make a lot of questions.
John Malkovich plays the commander of the ship; Catherine Deneuve and Irene Papas appear as famous passengers.
Most of time, this Portuguese movie is worth seeing. But there is something that doesn't work well. Near the end, the movie changes suddenly and goes to quickly to a unexpected ending. |
