Événement
God's Wedding
(Joao Cesar Monteiro, Portugal, 1999. 35mm, 150 min)
Bawdy and irreverent Monteiro reprises his role as Joao de Deus, the loveable and lustful tramp first seen in Recollections of the Yellow House who is granted wealth and earthly power. Joao's meteoric rise and cataclysmic fall from grace unfold in a formal display of slapstick, satirical and deadpan humor. His spry physical humor recalls the great silent film stars, but his comic timing is truly his own invention. His drawn visage and emaciated frame contrast the luminous bloom of the exquisite Elena (Joana Azevedo) to form the film's sexually explicit centerpiece.
