Colossal Youth [HD Remastered Edition]

[Machine Translation] Pedro Costa's latest film, "Vanda's Room," is the follow-up to "Vanda's Room" and is a stunning work of director Pedro Costa's career. Following "Vanda's Room", Pedro Costa delivers another shocking film! The Portuguese director once again brings Vanda to the screen to depict wandering people. Following "Bones" and "Vanda's Room," this film was shot with a camera in the Fontainhas area. The film was shot with minimal equipment, including a digital camera, recording equipment, and a tripod, and was lit almost exclusively by natural light. The film was shot over a period of more than 15 months, sometimes taking 20 to 30 takes per scene. Fontainhas, a neighborhood in the northwestern suburbs of Lisbon, has long been home to many immigrants from the Cape Verde Islands. The residents are forced to move to a modern housing complex that has just been built as part of a development project. One such migrant worker, Ventura, who has lived in the district for 34 years, is suddenly forced to leave his wife. At his wits' end, Ventura moves back and forth between the dilapidated favelas and the new housing complex, visiting the young residents he believes are his "children," including Vanda, Bete, and Lento, and trying to find a place for himself through dialogue with them.... Includes booklet.
