Ossos
November 19, 2022 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
FreeThe first film in Pedro Costa’s transformative trilogy about Fontainhas, an impoverished quarter of Lisbon, Ossos is a tale of young lives torn apart by desperation. After a suicidal teenage girl gives birth, she misguidedly entrusts her baby’s safety to the troubled, deadbeat father, whose violent actions take the viewer on a tour of the foreboding, crumbling shantytown in which they live. With its reserved, shadowy cinematography by Emmanuel Machuel (who collaborated with Bresson on L’argent), Ossos is a haunting look at a devastated community.
(Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Germany & Italy, German W/ Eng Sub, 88 min, 1972, Digital)
