Sinopse
Imagens de uma cidade perdida is a portrait of old Lisbon, primarily the Alfama, but also other central areas - Castello Sao Jorge, Graca, Bairro Alto, and elsewhere. It was shot in 1997-98, over the span of more than a year. Like those places, its pace is languid and it wears the sense of saudade which defines Lisboa and PT. (Wikipedia: "which describes a deep emotional state of nostalgic longing for something or someone that one was fond of and which is lost. It often carries a fatalist tone and a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might really never return.") As does life in Lisboa, this film demands patience and acceptance.
