It should come as no surprise that the dreamy, exotic, otherworldly The Strange Case of Angélica is the product of a filmmaker who is 103 years old (Manoel de Oliveira, born in Oporto, Portugal in 1908). The film concerns itself with matters more metaphysical than flesh-and-blood, reflecting what must be the director/screenwriter's ruminations on (and, perhaps, intimations of) The Great Beyond
Manoel de Oliveira’s reported physical handicaps are limited to walking with the aid of a stick and a minor hearing problem and, believe it or not, is busy making another movie after the recent The Strange Case of Angelica.
