ED António Reis, Margarida Cordeiro

Sounds, rhythm, visions, words, bodies and faces, wind, dust and sand. Characters of dream, exposed but secret, that appear and disappar, to come further, like the temporary “oueds” where the desert rose is born. Human condition, painful, life: children and women, men and animals. —Amor de Perdição

Director

António Reis

António Reis (1927–1991) was a Portuguese film director. He was married to Margarida Cordeiro, co-director in most of his films. He is considered as one of the most important directors of his country, due to the originality of his style. —Wikipedia

Margarida Cordeiro

Portuguese filmmaker Margarida Cordeiro and her partner Antonio Reis are noted for their beautiful representation of the Portuguese countryside. This the primary focus of their films sometimes comes at the expense of plot and dialogue, which are only minimally presented. To search for the real culture of Portugal, the plots are centered upon the daily work of natural women in pastoral settings—far from the male-inspired filth and mad mechanization of the cities. —Sandra Brennan, Rovi
