I stared in disbelief at the screen of O Convento (The Convent), and when the
closing credits rolled, my position hadn't changed an iota.
What exactly did John Malkovich see in this piece of crap? Michael must be out of his mind if he prefers Piedade over Hélène.
When she told Baltar how magnetic and irresistible he was, my eyeballs were ready to pop out. If you see a picture of
Luís Miguel Cintra, you'll understand what I'm talking about.
Catherine Deneuve gets two stars from me for making the film more tolerable and probably did it for the money to
keep up with her living expenses. At least, to Manoel de Oliveira's credit, he was 86 years old when he directed
O Convento and lived to 106 before passing away a couple of years ago.
All in all, just say no to O Convento.
