The musings of internationally renowned Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveiera on the power of thought and desire, and on good and evil, provide the underlying themes for this interesting reworking of the story of Faust. The story centers on the unconventional American professor, Michael Padovic, and his stunningly beautiful wife, Helene, who journey to an eerie Portuguese convent to prove that Shakespeare was in reality, a Jewish Spaniard. They journey to the spooky old convent of Arrabida

Always literate, visually appealing, and soulful... .
This film was created by complete monkeys.
Creepy, but for some reason I get the feeling that the movie was made only to justify Catherine & John's Portugal island vacation. Luv CD always.

(*** 1/2): I like these type of films. It is exotic, smart and I feel that the direction in this film is near-perfect.
