Camarate

I've kind of given up on Portuguese films, they're very boring, the acting is horrible and you don't understand the story. The only good thing is the cinematography, it never misses the target.

Camarate is different, I consider it a good film. It's based on a true story, the weird death of Francisco de Sá Carneiro, the Portuguese Prime Minister at the time. Until today it's a mystery whether or not it was an accident.

The actors are very good, very believable, something that is quite remarkable for a Portuguese film. I was astonished by Maria João Luís, the main character, I've only seen her before on soap operas and it was really bad. This film made me believe that it's not the actors fault but the directors, because she is actually a really good actress.

The cinematography is also good. Overall it's an interesting and well directed film. I recommend it.
