97 minutes

A new film from Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira—who continues to make extraordinary films as he approaches his 103rd birthday—The Strange Case of Angelica is a magical tale about a young photographer who falls madly in love with a woman who does not exist.

One night, Isaac is summoned by a wealthy family to take a photograph of a young bride, Angelica, who mysterious passed away. Arriving at their estate, Isaac is captivated by Angelica’s beauty, but when he looks through the lens, the young woman appears to come to life.

From that moment, Isaac is haunted by Angelica day and night. Dreamlike, ethereal segments enhance the film’s otherworldly story.

“A radiant ghost story and a tale of cinema itself.”—Artforum
