A Santa Aliança

Mar 19, 1980
In 1974, not long after the death of Portuguese dictator Salazar, who had ruled Portugal from the early '30s to the late '60s, a group of disgruntled Army officers held a coup. They were even more disgruntled when they realized how the coup was being manipulated by leftist officers to instigate genuine elections and establish a constitution for the first time in Portuguese history. Though their intent was to form a radical socialist state, circumstances prevented this, and a genuine parliamentary democracy emerged. This film explores the circumstances of a right-wing businessman during those times. The man is an old-fashioned authoritarian, whose attentiveness to the needs of his mistress, wife and son is crude where it exists at all.

De grens

Mar 26, 1984
Director Leon de Winter has taken a thriller with political and psychological overtones, and scrambled it into a series of vignettes that are mixed-up in time and in location, thereby dashing any hope of following the story. A journalist goes to a southern European country to interview a well-known terrorist who has refused to stop his activities even though the revolution he fought for ended successfully five years earlier. Questions are raised about adopting violence as a way of life without at first realizing it and about the seeming impossibility of raising the consciousness of backwater cultures. Perhaps because of the way the story has been filleted into fragments, characters like the journalist and terrorist do not have enough continuous screen time to build up their individuality, a second factor that makes it difficult to become involved in the drama.

La Vengeance de Veronica
1
Victoria et Veronica sont deux jumelles parfaitement semblables, ayant émigré au Mozambique il y a huit ans, après avoir vécu de nombreuses expériences depuis une tragédie qui s'est déroulée à Lisbonne. Lors d'une fête, Victoria est violée. De ce viol est né Jaime Mendes (surnommé Jaiminho). Actuellement âgé de sept ans, il souffre d'un cancer dont le traitement, très onéreux, doit être pratiqué en dehors du Mozambique. À cette époque, la vie des deux sœurs va être liée à celle de Frederico Varela, un homme d’affaires portugais sans scrupules, installé à Maputo. Elles travaillaient à l'hôtel de son père au moment du viol. Frederico est marié avec Diana Martins Varela, une chercheuse médicale reconnue dans le domaine du cancer à Lisbonne. Il fait partie de ces hommes qui pensent que l'argent achète tout. Frederico, millionnaire, fait une proposition à Victoria : il désire qu'elle soit sa compagne durant un voyage à travers le Chili et les États-Unis ; en échange il lui versera l'argent nécessaire pour sauver la vie de Jaiminho. Pensant à la guérison de son enfant, Victoria s'embarque avec Frederico. Mais lors du vol, leur avion disparaît mystérieusement dans le Pacifique. Les deux voyageurs sont considérés comme étant morts. Après avoir découvert que sa sœur a été victime d'une escroquerie et, de plus, persuadée que Frederico était le violeur dont Victoria n'a jamais voulu parler, Veronica échafaude un plan pour faire soigner son neveu (qui se croit en présence de sa véritable mère) et prend l'identité de Victoria, sa sœur disparue, afin de détruire la famille Varela. En possession de documents falsifiés, Veronica se présente à Diana comme la seconde épouse de Frederico et réclame la moitié de la succession du défunt. La guerre entre Diana et Veronica empire lorsque les deux femmes se disputent le même homme, Rodrigo Varela. Rodrigo est le frère de Frederico et a déjà perdu Diana dans le passé. Il a émigré au Chili, où il a mené une carrière de chef d'orchestre au théâtre municipal de Santiago. Après la disparition de son frère, il est revenu au Portugal. Il retrouve son ancien amour, Diana. Cette dernière aime toujours Rodrigo, qui a désormais une liaison avec Veronica-Victoria devenue la grande ennemie de Diana.
