★★★★ "Sly, understated and ruthlessly focused…a superbly droll miniature’" Time Out
A delightful miniature from Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira to mark his 100th birthday. A young accountant falls in love with a beautiful woman he spies across the street, although this seemingly simple set-up holds some gentle surprises. A light touch, a breezy running-time and a cool charm – the perfect summer movie.
Followed by a screening of Short Songs for My Mother, directed by Turner Prize award winning artists Jane and Louise Wilson.
