¡Movie
Description
[Machine Translation] Portuguese master director Manoel de Oliveira (who passed away on April 2, 2015 at the age of 106) presents a magnificent historical tapestry about the explorer Christopher Columbus, depicting the longing, nostalgia, and saudade of the Portuguese people for the sea that has continued since the Age of Discovery with warm and deep marital love. This is a moving film full of sea, travel, adventure, and beautiful romanticism, which chronicles the 60-year journey of Manuel Luciano da Silva, a real-life historical researcher who in 2006 published a new theory that Columbus, known for his discovery of the New World, was Portuguese. Special invitation film at the 64th Venice International Film Festival. -1946, Lisbon, Portugal. Manuel boards a ship bound for New York with his brother and thinks of the great men of the Age of Discovery. Years later, Manuel is working at a hospital in New York, using the medical license he obtained in Portugal, but he is also an avid student of history, trying to prove the hypothesis that the adventurer Columbus was in fact Portuguese. Returning to Portugal, Manuel married Silvia, a teacher, and their honeymoon was in Cuba, Alentejo, which he considered Columbus' birthplace. Time passed, and in 2007, Manuel and Silvia were again in the United States. Manuel and Silvia visit the Columbus monument. Looking at the Statue of Liberty, they reminisce about their own lives and the nostalgia of the Portuguese people who lived in the past, and they confirm their love for each other. They then head for the island of Porto Santo, where Columbus spent time with his wife and children before leaving on his voyage... An explanatory leaflet will be included.
