Porto da minha infância
This recurring cycle provides an opportunity to present to the public films from various eras and origins thanks to copies recently acquired by the Cinémathèque québécoise. This month, Gus Van Sant's second feature film, Drugstore Cowboy, takes us into the drug-addled America of the 1970s through the adaptation of James Fogle's eponymous autobiographical novel.
Walking through the streets of old Porto, Manoel de Oliveira remembers a walk he took at night when he was nine or ten years old, on his way home with his mother after an evening at the theater.
