Synopsis

Trás-os-Montes (1976) is a portuguese film by António Reis and Margarida Cordeira. It’s a docudrama with a poetic writing and non-linear narrative. Specifically, it’s an “etnofiction”: portraits the typical characters of Terra Fria, the North-east of Portugal, showing secular habits, in a majestic rural ambient. It’s one of the works that representes the New Cinema (Novo Cinema) portuguese movement, and one of the first portuguese docudrama. Regarding the Portuguese lineage of film-makers, although Costa surely acknowledges Manoel de Oliveira and Paulo Rocha (but only his films of the 60’), his major defining influence, one which he recognizes at several interviews, came from a teacher at film school and film-maker called António Reis, specially TRÁS-OS-MONTES (1976) and ANA (1985).

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

Conjunto de planos bonitos que não levam a nada. É o que este filme é
