Manoel de Oliveira (1908-2015)

Per the Fortnight selection, I assumed it was Abraham's Valley and precisely that, but oh my gosh what news to wake up to.

The films ScreenDaily mentions include Aniki Bóbó, Rite of Spring, Doomed Love, The Cannibals, and The Divine Comedy. Otherwise, the Portuguese Cinemateca looks to finalize their Luxbox collection in 2025.

Abraham's Valley is actually my Letterboxd avatar, and there is a solid upload on the Portuguese Film Archive YouTube page (alongside No, or the Vainglory of Command), but I imagine one might want to rewatch this with the new restoration. If these arrive on disc, I have no idea where they will arrive, much like Béla Tarr with Arbelos, Criterion, and probably the Criterion Channel.
