The Priest and the Girl (O Padre e a Moça, 1966), Joaquim Pedro de Andrade

February 1, 2019

O Padre e a Moça

VERSÃO EM PORTUGUÊS |The precision of uncertainty| There was a running joke among the Cinema Novo filmmakers that Joaquim Pedro de Andrade could never quite figure out what the 180-degree rule was all about.
