Rita Azevedo Gomes's The Portuguese Woman is a quietly radical feminist film. Her formalist approach produces a stunningly beautiful images of an unnamed, young Portuguese woman, a Botticelli-an beauty with fiery hair, as she persevere more than a decade for her husband, known as the Lord of Chains (wink wink), to come home from endless war against a bishop of Trent. Radical in its approach, sublime in its presentation, it’s a stunning film about a woman's world full of life. #womandirector
