Was intrigued enough by the first 20-30 minutes to finish it, but tbh this got quite boring.

À Flor do Mar estreava há 35 anos na Cinemateca Portuguesa. Pouco a pouco vou tecendo o pensar que Monteiro é meu cineasta português favorito, aqui retornando seu fazer poético entranhado ao mar de seu primeiro filme sobre Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen, mas com um twist anárquico que nos remete prontamente ao Teorema de Pasolini, Monteiro faça talvez o seu filme mais bonito. Plus: Monteiro na sorveteria. Prova que ele gosta de sorvete muito antes de encarnar João de Deus. DVDRip MKO
