Synopsis
The Strange Case of Angelica (2010) is a Portuguese-Brazilian fantasy drama by Manoel de Oliveira, available to watch online on iFILM. Late one night, photographer Isaac is called to a wealthy family's house in the Douro Valley to take a final portrait of their daughter Angelica, who died hours earlier. Through his viewfinder, she appears to smile.
He takes the photographs back to his boarding house and finds her alive on every negative. Angelica follows him into his daydreams, drifts over the vineyards outside his window, and gradually displaces the world of the living. De Oliveira made this film at almost a hundred years old — born 1908, directing until 2015 — and that particular patience with mortality is visible in every slow, composed shot.
