After a century on this planet and seven decades in the cinema, Manoel de Oliveira has earned the right to turn out whatever type of film he chooses, and if lately that work takes the form of concise little fables, then it has to be said that his latest effort, the lovely, deceptively simple Strange Case of Angelica is far sturdier than its makeweight precursor Eccentricities of a Blond Hair Girl. A meditation on modernity, fantasy, and that unique, increasingly anachronistic form of madness known as the cinema, the film wears its intellectualism lightly, so that even a discussion of Jos Ortega y Gasset seems about as mentally taxing as watching a cat stare down a bird, an event that Oliveira lingers on with loving attention.
When a local princess, Angelica (Pilar Lpez de Ayala), is suddenly struck dead, a desperate late-night search for a photographer to memorialize the corpse leads the estate foreman through the rainy streets of an ancient town and to the house of an absent-minded young shutterbug named Isaac (Ricardo Trpa). Rushed over to the castle, Isaac finds the beautiful princess arrayed in her wedding dress, spread out in all her splendor on a divan and evincing a wry grin. When Isaac frames her in his viewfinder, she briefly opens her eyes and trains her smile on him. Although the resurrection is but temporary and no one else notices, Isaac is deeply affected by the event and, increasingly distracted, spends his days poring over the photographs he's taken of the princess with whom he's clearly fallen in love.
One day, studying a photo of the deceased, he notices that the princess's eyes are open, but rather than take us into Blowup territory, Oliveira moves us into the realm of pure fantasy. When Isaac turns around, he sees Angelica behind hima ghostly outline superimposed on the landscape. Stepping out, he becomes a ghost himself and, in the film's swooningly gorgeous centerpiece, the princess takes Isaac on a nocturnal flight across a grey, star-streaked sky and over a luminous river, the denuded colors and lack of dialogue taking us back to the silent cinema where Oliveira got his start and to a time in which the medium seemed open to endless possibilities for wonder.
