Horse Money
No Longer Playing
2014 103 min
In Portuguese with English subtitles
Featuring a post-film Q&A with Director Pedro Costa moderated by Jonathan Rosenbaum
Pedro Costa's follow‐up to his renowned COLOSSAL YOUTH, follows Costa regular Ventura on an odyssey that is part horror film, part fever dream, and utterly unique. The time is now, a numbing and timeless present of hospital stays, bureaucratic questioning, and wandering through remembered spaces… and suddenly it is also then, the mid ’70s and the time of Portugal's Carnation Revolution, when Ventura got into a knife fight with his friend Joaquim.
HORSE MONEY is a self‐reckoning, a moving memorialization of lives in danger of being forgotten, as well as a piercingly beautiful work of modern cinema.
