Recollections of the Yellow House
(Joao Cesar Monteiro, Portugal, 1989, 35mm, 122 min)
Joao de Deus is a destitute man living in a cheap boarding house for families in an old section of Lisbon in 1989. He is sick and stricken by every possible adversity. His only relief is his fervid love of films. His life is further complicated when he tries to seduce the daughter of his landlord and is kicked out. Alone, deprived of any resources, he is confronted by the harshness of the city and ends up interned in an asylum. Here he meets a mentally ill man, who gives him a "rich and strange" mission to reenter society and "Go and make them sweat!" With clever antics and great comedy, he does just that.
