This is a very interesting film, but I'm afraid only a Portuguese person from Lisbon can fully understand it's unique feeling.
João Cesar Monteiro died, and this film are his final words.
"Vai e Vem" is art of a man who knows he's near his end. João Vuvu is João César Monteiro dying, like he's capable of touching death. There's nothing similar to this state. Everything comes and goes back again.
In this film, JCM humor is different. There's an even bigger amount of sadness in it.
Wonderfuly heavy.
However, it's hard to watch and probably boring if you're not in the mood, or if you're not able to understand it.
