Quote:
In Rita Azevedo Gomes’ A PORTUGUESA, war and love are the absolute values that define the conflict between man and woman. The film is an adaptation of a short story by Robert Musil, as filtered through the spirit of Agustina Bessa-Luis, frequent collaborator of Manoel de Oliveira. Clara Riedenstein plays the enigmatic, unnamed, obstinate, and intelligent protagonist – a woman who, after marrying von Ketten, travels to his country and spends eleven years waiting for his return from war. A PORTUGUESA is a film about patience, stoicism, and strategy that puts in crisis the very notion of action. With magnificent sound design, and shot in long takes that favour depth of field and the careful organisation of props and figures, the film pays great attention to colour, texture, and light. Azevedo Gomes avoids many clichés of the costume drama: instead of palace intrigues, the film tackles mystery at its fullest; animals are everywhere, triggering the most extreme emotions; there’s a sharp critique of power and religion, while the film relishes in its rituals and ceremonies; and there are many turbulent, subterranean currents, from carnal love to the devil’s hand.

Summaries
A poor miller gets tricked by the Devil and accidentally sells his daughter for a bit of gold. But Satan can’t take her because she’s too pure and has wept on her hands. So Satan orders the miller to cut her hands off. It’s the beginning of the young girl’s journey towards freedom.
Review
The distinctively minimal animation style is the main selling point of a simple fable which deals with the ramifications of greed versus goodness in the family of an impoverished miller. There’s a typically Grimm undercurrent of cruelty and violence to the story which might make it unsuitable for sensitive younger children, however the main barrier to the film connecting with a family audience is parents’ perception of what constitutes children’s cinema. The Girl Without Hands would comfortable occupy the arthouse niche supported by fans of experimental animation. With support from word of mouth and positive reviews, it could connect to the younger audience that responded to Isao Takahata’s The Tale Of The Princess Kaguya.
The story is divided into three loose chapters. The first sees a hungry miller approached by a spirit in the forest which offers him untold riches in return for whatever is behind his house. The miller assumes that the spirit is referring to his apple tree, unaware that his only daughter is, at that moment, sitting in its branches. Thus the deal he brokers includes the child. The miller claims that, having given his word, he can’t renege on the agreement. But the fact that the dry river has started to flow again, with liquid gold rather than water, is the main factor in his decision.
When the devilish spirit comes to claim its prize, it finds that the girl (voiced by Anaïs Demoustier) is protected by her purity. “She is too clean, I want her dirty, like the gold,” says the spirit. The miller takes this literally and curtails his daughter’s access to soap and water, keeping her a prisoner in the apple tree. Even so, the tears she weeps on her hands protect her from the spirit, and it demands that they be cut off. The father complies.
The second chapter follows the girl’s journey after she understandably leaves home. After communing with a river goddess, she meets a handsome prince who takes her as his wife, crafting solid gold prosthetic hands for her to wear. She bears his son while the Prince is away at war, but due to some meddling by the malevolent spirit, she comes to believe that the Prince wants her and the child dead.
The third section of the film follows the girl and her baby son to a hermit’s cave where, with the help of the river goddess and some magic seeds donated by the Prince’s kindly gardener, the small family thrive in isolation, Meanwhile, the heartbroken Prince scours the land for his wife and child.
The animation relies on colour washes and lithe, almost abstract line drawings. Figures are partially represented, sometimes disintegrating entirely. It’s striking how much can be conveyed with such economy: a few deft line depict diving terns, a gently turning water wheel. There’s a wild, unruly quality to the drawing at times of emotional trauma. The sound design and the use of music is not as sparse as the artwork – it fills in the light and shade and shows us what we don’t see.

The story is based on Crystal Lee Sutton’s life as a textile worker in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, where the battle for the workers union took place against a J.P Stevens Textiles mill. Her actual protest, in the mill, is the scene in the film where she writes the sign “UNION” and stands on her worktable until all machines are silent. Although Sutton was fired from her job, the mill became unionized, and she later went to work as an organizer for the textile union
In 2011, Norma Rae was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant”.[8] The Registry said that the film “is less a polemical pro-union statement than a treatise about maturation, personal willpower, fairness and the empowerment of women.
Norma Rae Webster is a minimum-wage worker in a cotton mill that has taken too much of a toll on the health of her family for her to ignore their Dickensian working conditions. After hearing a speech by a New York union organizer, Reuben Warshowsky, Norma Rae decides to join the effort to unionize her shop. This causes conflict at home when Norma Rae’s husband, Sonny, says she’s not spending enough time in the home.
Despite being pressured by management, when confronted, Norma Rae takes a piece of cardboard, writes the word “UNION” on it, stands on her work table, and slowly turns to show the sign around the room. One by one, the other workers stop their mill machines, and eventually, the entire room becomes silent. After all the machines have been switched off, Norma Rae is taken to jail but is freed by Reuben.
She then decides to talk to her children and tell them the story of her life. After discussing it with Reuben, Sonny tells Norma there’s no other woman in his mind and he will always remain with her. Norma Rae then successfully orchestrates an election to unionize the factory, resulting in a victory for the union. Finally, Reuben says goodbye to Norma; despite his being smitten with her throughout the movie, they only shake hands because he knows she is married and loves her husband, and Reuben heads back to New York.
Awards:
The film Norma Rae won Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Sally Field) and Best Original Song (for David Shire and Norman Gimbel for “It Goes Like It Goes”). It was also nominated for Best Picture and for Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium. The film was also nominated to the Palme d’Or (Golden Palm) at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival and Field was awarded Best Actress, in Cannes, for her performance.

This ethnographic and historical silent 16mm cinematic jewel was filmed in 1940 by Sifrid Miladinov – a professional photographer and amateur filmmaker from Kumanovo, a man with eclectic range of interests.
In 16 short but precious minutes you will see what the village of Galichnik, the famous Galichnik wedding and our ancestors looked like 80 years ago – in color! – very unusual at that time. Maybe some of you will recognize your great-grandfather, great-great-grandmother, old family house, alley, tree, entrance door. Sifrid Miladinov’s film is a rare opportunity to look back in the past through authentic, original archive footage. We thank the descendants of this film enthusiast, the Miladinovi family from Zagreb, for depositing the film in our national film archive – the Cinematheque – several years ago.
