| Fifth Empire, The [O Quinto Império - Ontem Como Hoje]Manoel De Oliveira is one of the oldest and most respected Portuguese directors - yet not especially appreciated by the general Portuguese public. This latest movie of his, directed at the age of 96, revisits a subject he's very fond of - the life of D. Sebasti?o. Sebasti?o was a very young Portuguese King of the sixteenth century, who inherited a weakened kingdom in need of a strong leader. His education was based on story-telling about ancient Portuguese conquerers, and created on him a wish to retrieve old glories. So, instead of focusing on social issues, he went on a battle on Northen Africa (Alc?cer Quibir), where he would be killed. (Note: this doesn't expose the plot; in fact, it's important to understand the movie) | 2004 | Manoel de Oliveira | Drama, History | 6.3 (257 votes) | 127 | 20211228 |
