Leave your thoughts about Casa de Lava.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzMinimalist drama is foreboding, incoherent and esoteric. |
| User ReviewNick Nunderrated...compelling, fascinating collage of a non-standard narrative form. |
| User Reviewkkl10 aStunning shots of the people and places of the Cape Verde Islands decorate a largely impenetrable plot about a Portuguese nurse bringing a comatose villager home and staying. Reviews I've read suggest that Pedro Costa had grander themes (imperialism, slavery, migration) operating in the background but the film's insularity kept these from becoming legible. |
| User ReviewMasorad (Interpolates Tourneur & Lewton's "I Walked With a Zombie" while meditating on post-colonial inertia, malaise and identity. Costa employs a dream logic while unfolding the plot (such as it is) and his composition is a National Geographic proof sheet: throwaway sublime and eternal mundane. |
