So in all these ways it's a powerful movie. It's a series of small surprises, elegantly wrought. But it's all told (based on a novel by a Swiss writer) as if in a dream, or in an individual's search through imprecise information and people who don't always talk about it the way you might expect. But that is the meat of the movie, set after Salazar's long reign, and with the aftermath of memories and lost ones still mourned. The era of dictatorship is no longer visible to the tourist. I just returned from a visit there and can sense some vestige of another era in the buildings, but not in the people. Night Train to Lisbon (2013) A remarkable movie, with shades of magic and threads of a true national angst still resolving in contemporary Portugal.
