Product Description:
The story centers on the unconventional American professor Michael Padovic and his stunningly beautiful wife Helene who journey to an eerie Portuguese convent to prove that Shakespeare was in reality a Jewish Spaniard. They journey to the spooky old convent of Arrabida where they are housed by the sophisticated but rather creepy guardian of the monastery Baltar who immediately seems attracted to Helene. In order to spend more time with her Baltar arranges for Michael to spend all his time in the convent's great library; he is assisted by a beautiful young librarian. It is the wicked Baltar who tries to tempt Michael (in the way that Mephistopheles tempted Faust) into becoming immortal through his research and writing.System Requirements:Runtime: 90 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA Rating: NR UPC: 012236211662 Manufacturer No: 21166

- Misunderstood gem from Manoel de Oliveira, almost like a J-horror film...
This is another gem from the great Manoel de Oliveira, the great Portuguese director. Many have misunderstood this film, calling it boring, unintentionally hilarious, and pretentious. O, what fools. I've seen it twice, and a 2nd viewing helps it immensely. It has a great story. Malkovich is a professor attempting to prove that Shakespeare was a Spanish Jew, not an Englishman. The film goes off in other directions after this, incorporating Faust among other things. It has great, moody photography. ... Read More

- A strange little trip
First of all, I have no idea why this movie is called The Convent. It takes place in a monastery.
This is one of the most sincerely bizarre films I have ever seen. Moodily photographed at an (real) abandoned monastery on the Portuguese coast, this chamber drama of six characters (three couples) is a throwback to the Faust and Eden stories, both at once, and seems, despite the literary and Biblical antecedents, completely fresh and unexpected, peppered with offbeat humor and framed with a ...

- Huh?
Is this some kind of inside joke? What is going on here? Is it about a free trip to Portugal for Malkovich and Deneuve. This strange film has more story in the printed on-screen epilog than in the 90 preceding minutes. Talky and long static shots. If you look up "PRETENTIOUS" in the dictionary, there should be an image of this film's poster for a definition. It would be REALLY interesting to know the circumstances of how this movie got made. Maybe it was blackmail. Or everyone was kidnapped and it ... Read More
