With a dedication to his craft that is truly astonishing, even directing 4 films after his 100th Birthday!

He once said in an interview: “I am not afraid of death, I am afraid to stop working. When I stop, I am dead.” What a beautiful artistic mindset.

Passing away in 2015, he leaves behind a rich legacy that shaped Portuguese cinema. His films often incorporate deeply philosophical themes and Portuguese mythology.

Being born in Porto, various films of his are also focused on the city and the community that lives there.

For those readers who are curious to know more, perhaps spend these winter days watching a classical film of his. "Voyage au début du monde," Which translates to The Journey to the beginning of the World.

Have you ever dived into what Portuguese cinema conveys?
