Nuno Santos is a young promise of the Portuguese cinema, which has already made three short films of excellent quality.
I love movies which is a fact. I try to right about the best at the national level, this is another irrefutable fact. And as no two is without a three, I like to counter the idea that Portuguese films are boring, the third fact. So here goes one more text. This time I will talk about a young filmmaker, Nuno Rocha, who has proved to be a serious talent in Portuguese cinema. So far this young director has succeeded in producing only small short films that show a great narrative ability with a very refined sense of humor. I speak of the movie "3X3" without need, or resort to dialogue, magnificently staged the confrontation between two characters. It's the kind of film that takes us to a ride thru the past to the silent films that, in a non-verbal language emphasized the great moments in a very dramatic and meaningful interpretation of the narrative with their very physical actors. This is one of those cases. At a time when movies without sound are back in the spotlight, this movie without major quirks includes us in the story of two men with completely different personalities who decide to meet up. It's hilarious! The other, who I also liked a lot, was a challenge arises by LG, the brand, entitled "Life is good." The interpretation of this theme by Nuno Santos is also an excellent film performance. No recourse once again to any written script which incidentally is expendable. The narrative glides smoothly in its apparent simplicity. The reasons that lead the character to the streets just are superfluous to this thrilling story and very well interpreted by the actors. As to the project "Vicky and Sam" I did not have the opportunity to see it in full, and I regret that, but maybe next time. But I leave the site of this young filmmaker at the end of the text so you can evaluate for yourselves. Good movie!
