Our Beloved Month of August
Streaming video - 2008
In the heart of Portugal, amid the mountains, the month of August is abuzz with people and activity. Emigrants return home, set off fireworks, fight fires, sing karaoke, hurl themselves from bridges, hunt wild boar, drink beer, and make babies. OUR BELOVED MONTH OF AUGUST is an intoxicating blend of visuals, sound and music that follows the strange relationship between a father, a daughter and a nephew in a traveling pop band. Official Selection at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Nominated for the FIPRESCI Prize at the **Venice International Film Festival**. "*As dazzling feats of narrative acrobatics go, this ingeniously self-reflexive second feature from maverick writer-director Miguel Gomes stands in a league of its own.*" - Davi...d Jenkins, **Time Out**
