Pilgrimage
Dir: João Botelho
A remarkable imagining of the historic voyages of 16th-century explorer and writer Fernão Mendes Pinto, one of the first Europeans to sail to and travel the Orient-- India, Japan, and places in between. Choral renditions of Portuguese singer-songwriter Fausto's progressive 80's pop album Por Este Rio Acima add inspiration to a lush period drama.
