by João César Monteiro
Portugal 1986

However, after almost a year had passed, Laura returned to the house overlooking the bay and, in a relaxed holiday atmosphere, finds what remains of a family and, by chance, something unexpected...

Comments |
Like all others 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. Colors look quite true and sharpness is there for a fairly heavy print. This is a solid image with decent contrast levels . Chock-filled with good extra features, this is another gem in the collection. |
