António um dois três

Antonio One Two Three

Like his predecessors Visconti and Bresson, young Brazilian director Leonardo Mouramateus has chosen to adapt Dostoyevsky’s short story “White Nights” for his feature debut, set against the backdrop of Lisbon. What initially seems like a banal comedy blossoms into an accomplished work in which metanarrative language ends up constituting the backbone of the entire film. The daydreamer in question is called António (Mauro Soares), and we follow him as he wanders around in search of fantasies and romantic mirages that take the form of Deborah, a green-eyed Brazilian girl played by actress and director Deborah Viegas. (Roberto Oggiano, Cineuropa)
