Lucky Star – Cineclube de Braga programs four sessions dedicated to Paulo Rocha, one of the biggest names in Portuguese Cinema Novo. His most renowned work, Os Verdes Anos, marked his directorial debut, followed by hits such as Mudar de Vida and O Rio do Ouro, in which he immortalizes his fellow countrymen and the city of his birth, Porto.
For this cycle, four of the most recent and lesser-known films by this filmmaker, who left us thirteen years ago, have been chosen.
