O sangue (1989) - Costa
Completely blown away by its astonishing beauty when first saw it, I was daydreaming about seeing it on big screen in theaters. Now restored in glorious 4K, it plays in NY’s @metrograph You will have to experience it to believe it! #PedroCosta #osangue #metrograph
My review from 2015:

Shot rapturously in monochrome with old timey music, O Sangue feels like watching a fairy tale story from the silent era. You can tell that Costa is a good student of old films- the lyricism in O Sangue evokes those of Epstein, Vigo, Tourneur, Mizoguchi and Bresson (especially Four Nights and a Dreamer). Costa's sodden poetic images and lost but determined souls have magical power to move you. #pedrocosta #portuguesecinema #film #osangue
