"Misterios de Lisboa"
This film came in at just under 5 hours. Five hours!
Based on the Portuguese novel by Camilo Castelo Branco this is a very long and intertwining look at more than a handful of characters in 19th Century Portugal (with further travels to France and Italy and Brazil and...).
Though too many coincidental happenings for me I believe that the story does portray very well the notion that we all come into this world with a certain "history" based upon our family lineage.
Suffering is a part of life and that is very evident in this story.
