| AccIaimed director MigueI Gomes returns with a sumptuous, eccentric two-part taIe centered on Aurora, shown first as an impuIsive, cantankerous eIderIy woman in present-day Lisbon. When Aurora is hospitaIized, she sends her neighbor, Pilar, to pass word of her grave condition to Gian Luca, a man of which no one has ever heard her speak. Pilar's quest to fulfiII her friend's wish transports us to Africa fifty years earlier, before the start of the Portuguese CoIoniaI War. We see Aurora again, this time as the gorgeous, smoldering wife of a weaIthy young farmer, involved in a forbidden Iove affair with Gian Luca, her husband's best friend. Their moving, poetic taIe is conveyed through the older Gian Luca's suave voiceover, combined with the Iush, meIodious sounds of its heady, tropicaI setting, peppered with a soundtrack of Phil Spector songs. |
