Bastiano Tansu, who – mistreated and marginalized all
his life – turned into a feared assassin, driven into a killing frenzy
following his brother’s murder. Back in 1884 Enrico Costa wrote a book about this story famous in its region but not so much in the rest of Italy.
THE CHILD 16TH CENTURY
DRAMA FROM PORTUGAL
The Child was out in Portugal in February
After Italy straight over to Portugal where we have period set drama movie THE CHILD (A criança) which already had its release last month in its homecountry and will move over to France in April. Joao Arrais plays an adopted young man called Bela who, living in the middle of the 16th century, somewhere near Lisbon, tries to find his place in a family that is free but trapped in a world where each shadow allows defects to shine through. Here, everything leads to disaster. Marguerite de Hillerin and Félix Dutilloy Liégeois’s first feature length film, is loosely based on Heinrich von Kleist’s “The Foundling". As Cineuropa writes, the story is set in the Portuguese countryside in the sixteenth century, a time when the country's conservative religious traditions were dominant, and follows Bela, an orphan adopted by a French-Portuguese aristocratic couple. The film mostly focuses on this character’s relationships: with his adopted parents, his friends, his lover and with the people who work for him and his family. It depicts the emotionally and psychologically driven cinematic movements in the story of a young boy who seems to be at a time of self-discovery and at the epicentre of the dynamics of his household.
