The Portuguese Woman
Institute of Contemporary Arts
The Portuguese Woman, dir. Rita Azevedo Gomes, Portugal 2018, 138 mins, Portuguese with English subtitles

Book tickets

The Portuguese Woman is a luminous contemplation on waiting and interior life, grounded in historical text yet more present still in its emotional clarity. Rita Azevedo Gomes reimagines Robert Musil’s tale as a series of tableaux vivants where life’s passing is rendered as performance – a deliberate, lyrical dance between past and present, artifice and truth.
