Portugal

Portuguese cinema is a small, personal tradition, shaped by dictatorship until 1974 and the Carnation Revolution. Manoel de Oliveira, who kept working past the age of 100, made long, theatrical, philosophical films, and Pedro Costa has created a slow, painterly cinema of Lisbon's poor neighbourhoods. The country is known for patient, intellectual auteurs.
