Pedro Costa, Colossal Youth, 2006
Hailed as the Beckett of cinema, Costa has produced a staggering trilogy observing the demolition of the Fontainhas housing complex in Lisbon. Colossal Youth focuses on Ventura, an elderly immigrant from Cape Verde Islands, who has assumed the role of surrogate father to the dispossessed. An intimate epic, where present and past move as one, collaboratively filmed with patience and empathy.
Dir. Pedro Costa. 155mins, 2006, Portugal
