Editorial Reviews

Plot summary: Portugal 1938. Pereira is the editor of the culture section of the Lisboa, an unaffiliated evening paper. There is civil war in Spain and the fascists are in power in Portugal, but he concerns himself only with his work (writing biographies of famous writers and translating French novels) and ignores what is going on around him. He hires Monteiro Rossi, an idealistic young man in love with a beautiful communist, as an assistant. He reluctantly helps them when they begin to get into trouble due to subversive activities. Eventually events force him to take a stand.

This review is from: According to Pereira (Sostiene Pereira) [Non-US Format, PAL Region2] (DVD)

A great performance by Marcello Mastroianni in one of his last films, beautifully shot in Lisbon, with the voice of Amelia Rodriquez in the background.Based on a wonderful book by Antonio Tabucchi.This version has no English subtitles, but read the book and you won't need them.
