Product Description
Jeremy Irons, Mélanie Laurent and Jack Huston star in this drama adapted from the novel by Pascal Mercier. Swiss professor Raimund Gregorius (Irons) saves a young woman from jumping off a bridge and committing suicide. She leaves before he gets the chance to talk to her but in her haste forgets her coat and a book - a memoir written by Amadeu do Prado (Huston) - inside which is a train ticket to Lisbon. Hoping it will lead him to the woman, Raimund boards the train to Lisbon and goes on a search to discover more about the author's life, which is seen in flashbacks. He learns of Amadeu's time as a resistance fighter during the Salazar dictatorship and his relationship with his friends and the woman he loved, Estefânia (Laurent). Along the way Raimund meets and befriends an optician, Mariana (Martina Gedeck), and comes to some realisations about his own life.
Customer Reviews
This film is superlative in almost every way. The cinematography is artful but remains the context for the story, not the focus of it. Jeremy Irons is in top form as are the other actors. This is a film where if you miss a line or two, you can be sunk. Every phrase seems poignant and connected to everything else in the network of characters. And, one other feature I always examine closely in a film is the quality of the music. The composer, Annette Focks has scored this beautifully with the right combination of sweetness and melancholy.My only negative comment is about the streaming itself. I've thoroughly checked my internet connectivity and it iss above national averages by a long shot, but this film, as with many from Amazon, halted about 20 times making a 1:51 film take almost a full hour more to finish it. I even tried re-starting two times to try and get the download from Amazon faster. Very troubling.
