My Case
(Mon Cas)

Screening on Film
Directed by Manoel de Oliveira.
With Bulle Ogier, Luís Miguel Cintra, Axel Bogousslavsky.
Portugal/France, 1986, 35mm, color, 90 min.
French with English subtitles.

Among Oliveira’s most radical films, Mon Cas is based upon a well known play by the renown Portuguese playwright Jose Regio in which actors subvert a play by abandoning their rehearsed dialogue to speak directly to the audience, and the camera, about themselves. A dazzling evocation of the transformative power of spectacle and performance, Oliveira returns three times to this disruptive scene, each time offering a totally different film. Bulle Ogier and Luís Miguel Cintra lead the outstanding cast.
