Our Beloved Month Of August
(Miguel Gomes, 2008, Portugal, 35mm, 150 min) Ravishingly photographed and brilliantly assembled, Our Beloved Month of August is a travelogue to get lost in, an indigenous film created by tourists. It is also a window into a fascinating filmmaking process that continues to unravel long after the credits roll. Both documentary and fictional narrative, Gomesâs energetic and courageous film captures many vignettes of life in rural Portugal. The documentary portions deal with the filmmaker and his difficulties in getting the fictional film done, but the fictional parts seem very real at times, too. In the process of ignoring the distinct genres, Our Beloved Month of August reveals much about the village people and the difficulties of making films in remote areas.
