Manoel de Oliveira, a remarkable filmmaker whose career has spanned from the silent era to the digital age, remains a largely overlooked figure in English-language scholarship. This groundbreaking volume, the first to explore Oliveira's later works in English, seeks to rectify this significant gap in knowledge by offering fresh and original analysis of over 50 of his films, spanning from 1963's Rite of Spring to 2009's Eccentricities of a Blonde-haired Girl. Rather than following a chronological order of release, The Cinema of Manoel de Oliveira is organized thematically and by tropes, providing a unique lens through which to understand the director and the profound ways in which his work intertwines with cinema, literature, and other artistic mediums. In addition to his analysis, Hajnal Király sheds new light on Oliveira's filmography by offering fresh readings of his work in relation to 20th and 21st-century history, further enriching our understanding of this iconic filmmaker.
