Vitalina Varela

Description: Vitalina Varela Description Product Description A film of deeply concentrated beauty, acclaimed filmmaker Pedro Costa's Vitalina Varela stars nonprofessional actor Vitalina Varela in an extraordinary performance based on her own life. Vitalina plays a Cape Verdean woman who visits Lisbon to reunite with her husband following two decades of separation, only to arrive mere days after his funeral. Alone in a strange, forbidding land, she perseveres and begins establishing a new life. Winner of the Golden Leopard for Best Film and Best Actress at the Locarno Film Festival, as well as an official selection of the Sundance Film Festival, Vitalina Varela is a work of shadow and whisper, a profoundly moving and visually ravishing masterpiece. Special Features - Exclusive interview with Pedro Costa at the Toronto International Film Festival (41 minutes) - "Chantal + Pedro," a short film in which Chantal Akerman and Pedro Costa (or rather, their films) meet in a movie theatre, by Júlio Alves (2020, 8 minutes) - Theatrical Trailer - Booklet featuring an essay by critic Jonathan Rosenbaum Review "It's essential cinema. Socially conscious, but dreamlike, elegiac. Stunning pictorialism. In the opening shots of this film, one thinks of Goya and Velasquez; the clouds in the night sky evoke El Greco. Critic's Pick." --Glenn Kenny, The New York TimesSpectacular images, ideas, emotions, and performances. Costa endows the tale with a pictorial majesty. It s a film that recovers the colossal symbolic power of classical American cinema. --Richard Brody, The New Yorker"The best looking and most emotionally resilient movie of the year so far. Somber but (somehow!) electrifying, its frequent wordlessness, its consummate stillness, are a thrill." --K.
