O Fantasma (2000)


Este filme é sobre o totalitário de um corpo e a sua impotência. É esse o percurso de Sérgio (Ricardo Meneses), cantoneiro de profissão, que percorre os labirintos do lixo de Lisboa, limpando a cidade, em rotas que ninguém conhece, dos despojos que os outros deixaram. É isso que faz dele uma presença invisível, um “fantasma.”

This is a film about the totalitarian wish of a body and its impotence... Sérgio (Ricardo Meneses), a garbage collector goes through the labyrinths of the garbage of Lisbon, cleaning the city, in routes that nobody knows, keeping garbage items that interests him. There seems to be an invisible presence in his being that dictates what he does... is it “ghost?”

O FANTASMA is an extraordinary psychological film... it’s about one’s deepest fantasy. Its explicitness was entirely appropriate and not pornographic as pornography depicted self-denial. The lead actor’s innocent handsomeness will evoke either empathy or desire or both...
