"[A] comprehensive and informative critical evaluation of the Portuguese filmmaker's body of work."--Strictly Film School


"An aristocratic provocateur who most often comes up with aggressively eccentric but beautifully logical ways of adapting plays and novels, this 19th-century modernist needs an erudite explicator and finds one in Johnson."--Film Comment
