In Bressane’s own words, his last fi lm is interrupted story of love which draws a path between memory and prophesy. The soul and the fl esh are in a kind of environment close to Spiritualism, which only a fi lmmaker with Bressane’s sensibility may achieve with a mise-en-scene as pure as expressive. The widow Siloé is word and soul, idea and matter and is devoted to both worlds as a medium capable of connecting from the earth with the eternity of spirits. NURIA CUBAS
