Amor de Perdição (Doomed Love)
August 31 at 2:00
East Building Concourse, Large Auditorium
Another literary adaptation, Camilo Castelo Branco’s epic nineteenth-century novel about an eighteenth-century Romeo-and-Juliet-like affair set in Portugal, Amor de Perdição mixes conventions from theater and cinema and retains Branco’s rich and multilayered language. Although intended originally as a television film, it was not a success until released theatrically. (1978, 16 mm, Portuguese with subtitles, 265 minutes)
