The book's re-telling of a troubled passage in real-life author Camilo Castelo Branco life, his friend Jose Augusto embarked on a perverse game of marital cat and mouse with Francisca, the woman the novelist loved, led Oliveria to new levels of stylistic and formal imagination. With its elaborate title cards, its abundance of shots in which the action is oriented directly toward the camera, its gloomy interiors, and its show-stopping gala set-pieces, Francisca is an exacting, sumptuous and utterly inimitable cinematic experience, and one of Oliveira's crowning achievements
