Hi again! This is still the best tribute compilation video i've seen- so elegant, so brilliantly edited and excellent choice of music. Oliveira may well be the world's greatest living director, should be a household name worldwide
@mizofan Hi! Thank you again. It means a lot. And I also have to thank you for embedding it on your list on Mubi (You’re Kenji, right?), because according to the video analytics many of its views came from there. So, thank you for that.
@NGS712 No. The tracks are from Jane Campion's "The Piano" and Peter Greenaway's "A Zed & Two Noughts". At first I actually tried to make the tribute using Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata (the track Oliveira used at the end of "Abraham's Valley"), but I couldn't make it work. And at the time I was kind of obsessed with Michael Nyman, particularly with his score for Gattaca, so I ended up using his tracks.
Kornspel: I happened to find that out when I looked for the tracks on a music site. :D Amazing how well it fits with the imagery and I'm sure it wasn't easy to sync them together.
Cannot wait to see more of de Oliveira's films [or hear Nyman's music, for that matter.] ;)
Hello! I'd like to know the title of a film of Manoel de Oliveira. I've seen only a frame in this video. There is a family in a morning room. A man takes from a girl's womb a cat and throws it away.
Then I'd like to know the title of another film of Oliveira in which are many little angels (or cupids) with curly hair.
@avrilstorm Hi! The first one is from Vale Abraão (Abraham's Valley) and the second one is from 'Non', ou A Vã Glória de Mandar (No, or the Vain Glory of Command). You're welcome! :)
Manoel Candido Pinto de Oliveira, le plus ancien directeur active du monde et auteur de trente-deux longs métrages. Une légende dans l'histoire du cinéma.
Absolutely tremendous video, really among the best things on youtube, and what a great director- should be an international household name. I especially love Abraham Valley and Aniki Bobo, but many still to see...
Thank you so much for this! Even amongst cinephiles, de Oliveira is an unknown name yet the man is a Cinema God. One of the 10 best living filmmakers alive, no question. My personal fav is "A Talking Picture". I've been trying to get Voyage to the Beginning of the World forever. His newest one is supposed to be excellent as well.

Since I've only seen one de Oliveira film so far I'm curious, are the Nyman tracks from a film of his?
Nonetheless, an excellent video. :)

Kornspel, when someone makes a tribute like this to Oliveira, he usually exclaims, sarcastically:
"-- So, finally, you made my best movie!"

@LiberdadeHedonista Good to know that just like his directing skills, his sense of humor is still intact. :)
Thanks to everybody for the kind comments!
