Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
An initially enigmatic but finally pretty forthright account of extreme angst, alienation and poverty in contemporary Lisbon. It's all fairly extreme, from the lengthy close-ups of silent, haggard, miserable faces to the sequence in which one of the dispossessed tries to get rid of a baby in a busy square, but it's made with conviction and great visual and narrative assurance.Author: GA
