(aka "The Hips of J.W." )
directed
by João César Monteiro
Portugal 1997
Following a performance of the Coram Populo mystery, which precedes August Strindberg's Inferno, the director of the play (Jean de Dieu), comes across a look-alike of the actor who had incarnated the figure of God (Max Monteiro). The intruder claims his name is Henrique and presents himself as a retired sea-dog, just passing by before he goes on to fulfil his old dream, to see his childhood hero John Wayne swing his hips ever so gracefully on the North Pole.

Comments |
Like all others in the "The Complete João César Monteiro" Boxset
this DVD has original audio and optional English, French, Spanish or
Portuguese subtitles. All appear to have an original aspect ratio image
that is un-manipulated from the print source. This DVD has a brilliant filmic image with good colors, contrast and sharpness. Stacked with more detailed extras - this may be the best image in the collection. It is as pure as one might expect from a film. Bravo! |
