Audience Member Slow-Moving Road Trip in Front of beautiful Panoramas on the Track of Christophre Colombre Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This theory of a Portuguese Columbus could be of course questioned, but the blending of personal and national identity with history is superb. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Very Portuguese-centric but cinephiles all over the world still worship Manoel de Oliveira. Not bad but I still prefer No, or the Vain Glory to Command. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member After seeing many of Oliveira's films at a retrospective, I consider "Aniki Bobo" (1942), "Voyage to the Beginning of the World," (1997) and this one the best. His other work was tiring and didn't really have much of an effect for me. He is though the best looking 100 year old I've ever seen!! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Amusing to see the movie directed by the oldest (99) active film director in the world. Manoel de Oliveira also plays an important role in the movie. He is old Manuel Luciano da Silva, a medical doctor who tried to prove Columbus was a Portuguese, and de Olivera's wife is the doctor's wife. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I did enjoy this movie. It's just like an old grandpa (and probably a very patriotic Portuguese one!) telling stories as well as his views on some historical incidents. I don't understand some points of this movies, though... Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
