Another film of Vicente Alves do Ó about women and their idiosyncrasies.
The director Vicente Alves do Ó likes women, likes actresses, likes creating complex personalities with various layers that are being peeled plan by plan, scene by scene and in my opinion there is nothing wrong with that. These "15 points in the soul" made me want more, more pictures, I didn't got tired of looking at the stylized beauty of Rita Loureiro, how the light fell on her pale face, the cinematography of Luis Barquinho, the careful and wonderful wardrobe, as never seen in on other Portuguese films, suffice to say that this work could only have been done by Paulo Gomes. It is a visual delirium, a silhouette that reminds me immediately Kim Novak, the cold goddess. The script well managed the silences. Almost dispensed dialogues. The decor was simply a luxury, a space that really surprised me was the chameleon loft, if I didn't know better I would never say it been inhabited by a man, it is eclectic almost minimal at the same attractive and with lots of personality. The soundtrack of Pedro Janela in my view grasped the nature of the enigmatic character of Simone and her escape from reality, the dream that never was. If you haven't seen it, go see it and taste it like a fine wine. Good movie!
