Genre: Mystery, Romance, Thriller

About an aging Swiss professor of classical languages who, after a chance encounter with a Portuguese woman, quits his job and travels to Lisbon in the hope of discovering the fate of a certain author, a doctor and poet who fought against Portuguese dictator Antonio de Oliveira Salazar.


I just saw it this evening in Rome– Well done–and although I was not familiar with the book–I will read it now.

The style of "movie within a movie" reminds one of Fowles "the French Lieutenants Wife" and Truffaut "Day for night" but MUCH better done than both of those.

Wonderful story of the randomness of life–-and how that random event allowed three close friends during the dictatorship in Portugal to finally discover what had happened to each other. It took a stranger to complete –and resolve–the major event of their lives.

Jeremy Iron was as usual terrific–-and reminded me of his role in House of the Spirits–in a similar political setting of the fascist times in Chile.

Deeply intense, dramatically fulfilling–it kept me on the edge of my seat.

Bravo
