Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
RUINS
Ruínas
Synopsis
Distant voices tell stories over images of Portugal’s abandoned buildings, tracing the life of the country’s many uninhabited places. Dilapidated residential blocks, factories, cinemas, churches, stations, industrial plants, and a masonry dam seem like ruins of modernity, monuments of a past time.

Our take
Ruins is a stunning masterpiece from Portuguese filmmaker Manuel Mozos: a contemplative examination of spaces, time, landscape and history. This beautiful film quietly yet profoundly unfolds as a study of memories and ghosts.
