Lisboa Cultural

Directed by Manoel de Oliveira

With Luis Albuquerque, Maria Barroso, João de Freitas Branco, Luís Miguel Cintra and Jacinto do Prado Coelho

Seventeen experts on history and arts deliver brief lessons on their favorite subjects, considered the most relevant to cover nine hundred years of Portuguese culture. The camera shows from a distance, or in minute detail, the monuments or art pieces considered, or even the texts discussed by the narrators, reenacted on stage or recited by actors.
