Chapters 14

Like all other DVD in the "The Complete João César Monteiro" Boxset this DVD has original audio and optional English, French, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles. All appear to have an original aspect ratio image that is un-manipulated from the print source.  

Early films, very low budget shorts, one can immediately sense the chaotic indulgence in poetry through film medium, a beautiful representation of upcoming genius.
