Portogallo, paese tranquillo(1969)

剧情简介

A didactic tendency prevails in some of Joaquim Jorda's first films, for example in Portugal a Calm Country (Portogallo, paese tranquillo) (1969), which was shot in a clandestine way, and in Lenin is Alive (Lenin vivo) (1970), both of which were made by request of the Italian Communist party and both of which are rigorous in their ideological perspective. They succeed cinematically because of their skilful editing, which suggests rather than imposes his point of view. In general, the themes of rebellion and injustice have always excited Jorda's interest; in 1971 he adapted The Iron Heel (Talón de hierro) by Jack London.
