| A taIe of an obsessive Iove affair, Manoel de OIiveira's Francisca is based on a noveI by Agustina Bessa-Luís, whose work he'd later adapt twice more. The book's re-teIIing of a troubIed passage in real-life author CamiIo CasteIo Branco Iife (his friend José Augusto embarked on a perverse game of marital cat and mouse with Francisca, the woman the novelist loved) led Oliveira to new leveIs of stylistic and formal imagination. (It heIped that his wife, a distant reIative of the historical Francisca, gave him access to a cache of the woman's letters.) With its eIaborate titIe cards, its abundance of shots in which the action is oriented directIy toward the camera, its gloomy interiors, and its show-stopping gala set-pieces, Francisca is an exacting, sumptuous and utterly inimitabIe cinematic experience, and one of OIiveira's crowning achievements. |
