Young Mr. Cunhal (2022)
The revolutionary Álvaro Cunhal, symbol of Portuguese communism and political giant of the 20th century. He is nothing less than a larger-than-life figure, now examined by João Botelho’s camera, in a detective-minded film, in which the early years of the life of the historic leader of the Portuguese Communist Party are explored. In between, excerpts from his own books are staged for the spectator.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
