Synopsis

La ville de Porto vue par les aquarelles du peintre António Cruz. L’artiste sort de son atelier et traverse la ville, qui est montrée sous ses différents aspects. Diverses scènes de la vie réelle alternent avec les œuvres qui reflètent le point de vue subjectif de l’artiste. « J’ai filmé la réalité en opposition à la vision poétique d’un peintre. Ce qui m’intéressait, c’était de jouer avec les durées. Ce n’est pas un remake de Douro. D’une certaine manière, c’est le contraire, et il exprime ma nouvelle conception du cinéma. C’est une réaction contre le montage. J’ai voulu faire durer les images plus longtemps que d’habitude. Alors que Douro était un film qui reposait sur le montage, O Pintor est un film de contemplation, d’extase. » Manoel de Oliveira

The city of Porto as seen by the watercolors of the painter António Cruz. The artist emerges from his studio and crosses the city, which is seen in its different aspects. Various scenes of true life alternate with the works which reflect the personal views of the artist. “I filmed reality in contrast to the poetic vision of a painter. What interested me was playing with lengths of time. It isn’t a remake of Douro. In a certain way it is the opposite, and it expresses my new conception of cinema. It is a reaction against editing. I wanted to prolong the length of the frames for an unusual period of time. Whereas Douro was a film based on editing. O Pintor is a film of contemplation, of ecstasy”. Manoel de Oliveira
