511 - Colossal Youth (2006)
b'
Now we\\u2019re talking. \\xa0This is some serious Criterion Collection viewing right here. \\xa0Pedro Costa\\u2019s docufiction is a snail\\u2019s-paced meditation on the lives of the largely Cape Verde immigrants living in the Fontainhas neighborhood of Lisbon, Portugal. \\xa0This movie is not concerned with entertaining you. \\xa0This movie is not concerned with delighting you. \\xa0The rose-colored glasses of studio cinema are nowhere to be found. \\xa0Follow Ventura (played by himself) as we walks from home to home, visiting with \\u201chis children\\u201d as he listens to recitations of their lives marked by the struggles of poverty and oppression.
If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Krzysztof Kieslowski\\u2019s\\xa0The Double Life of Veronique\\xa0(1991).
