Directed by Manoel de Oliveira | 95 mins | 2012
Oliveira’s triumphant swansong turns a family dinner into a percolating drama of mortality and morality as a bookkeeper and his wife reckon with their estranged son’s thievery. The cast is a roster of arthouse legends: Michael Lonsdale as the aging patriarch, Claudia Cardinale as his careful spouse, and Jeanne Moreau as a playful visitor. Set in a 19th-century Portuguese port city, and shot in luminous HD.
