Correspondências (2016): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2016, Correspondências is a dokumentarfilm film directed by Rita Azevedo Gomes, running about 145 minutes.

What it’s about. Jorge de Sena was forced to leave his country. First he moved to Brazil, and later to the USA. He never returned to Portugal. During his 20-year-long exile, he kept an epistolary correspondence with Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen. These letters are a testimony of the profound friendship between the two poets, letters of longing and of desire to “fill years of distance with hours of conversation”. Through excerpts and verses, a dialog is established, revealing their divergent opinions but mostly their strong bond, and their efforts to preserve it until their last breaths.

Who’s in it. Correspondências stars Eva Truffaut, Pierre Léon, Rita Durão and Anna Leppänen, among others.
