The new issue of Film Comment includes a comprehensive piece on Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira by Reader contributor Jonathan Rosenbaum. Coincidentally, the Gene Siskel Film Center is in the middle of an Oliveira retrospective, which continues through July with Day of Despair (7/14), Rite of Spring (7/16), Doomed Love (7/19, 7/22-23), Inquietude (7/25, 7/29), and the director’s latest, Christopher Columbus, the Enigma (7/27, 7/31).
