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.
