Works of Pedro Almodovar and Jerzy Skolimowski review the myth of Inês de Castro at the Cine-Teatro de Alcobaça – João d’Oliva Monteiro
“Bodies of Inês”, a film series integrated in Cistermúsica 2011, exhibits the next day July 10, at 9h30p.m., at the Cine-Teatro de Alcobaça – João d’Oliva Monteiro, one of the great films of Spanish director Pedro Almodovar that was inspired by a series of true events to recreate an unconditional romantic and intimate story that would eventually raise an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay: “Talk to Her.”
At the end of the film series, July 11, Monday, at 9h30p.m., we will have the opportunity to watch the return, after almost twenty years of absence, of one of the most respected Polish film directors, Jerzy Skolimowski, who in “Four Nights with Anna” gives us a chronicle of obsessive love that opened in 2008, the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes.
Thus concludes, at the Cine-Teatro de Alcobaça – João d’Oliva Monteiro, a contemporary review of the myth of Inês de Castro through the works of some of today’s greatest filmmakers, a initiative that follows the theme of the festival “Around Inês,” but it is above all a journey through a series of films where the myth of Inês de Castro was reinstated and revised in the light of great visual narratives of the recent past in the world of cinema and under the sign of contemporaneity.
