Eccentricities Of A Blonde-Haired Girl (Singularidades De Uma Rapariga Loura)

European Cinema

The remarkable Manoel de Oliveira is 101 years old and has been making films for over seventy years. His latest is based on a short story by Eca de Queiros and is a typically slim, elegant reflection on that old devil called love. De Oliveira’s grandson Ricardo Trepa stars as Macario, a Lisbon accountant who becomes infatuated with the beautiful blonde girl he spies in the widow across the street. Infatuation leads to obsession but Macario is an old-fashioned romantic, bound by social codes that seem more appropriate to a Jane Austen novel than a 21st century suitor and he discovers that the path of true love is strewn with obstacles.
