*The feira do livro, with tables full of books from Atlantico Books, the Center for Portuguese Studies and Culture, and the UMass Dartmouth Campus Store will run alongside a showing of this movie:
Movie “Two Drifters” (2005, from Portugal) starts at 6pm. Directed by João Pedro Rodrigues.
Pedro and Rui kiss after a first-anniversary dinner; Pedro drives home, dying en route in a crash. Another pair of lovers, Odete and Alberto, split over her desire to have a child. Pedro lived in Odete’s building. She attends the wake, stealing a ring, a last gift from Rui, from Pedro’s finger. She behaves hysterically at the graveside, and later, wearing Pedro’s ring, she insists she’s carrying Pedro’s child. Rui grieves as well, drinking too much and seeing Pedro’s apparition. Odete’s obsession intrudes on Rui, whose grief makes him vulnerable to her hysteria. Can this end well?
The film will be preceeded by a brief introduction by the director, and followed by an open discussion.
The Portuguese and Lusophone Film Series is sponsored by: Instituto Camões and the Portuguese Consulate in New Bedford.
Feira do livro is organized by the UMass Dartmouth Summer Program in Portuguese.
