About
"Life is raw and rough in Pedro Cost's cinema. It is also more fiery than anywhere else. Moreover, its flames are so intense that the actors, in turn, reach an almost terrifying level of incandescence : there's Isaach de Bankolé caught in the flames, Inès de Medeiros on the bonfire of emotions, Pedro Hestnes as a torrid, Rimbaud-like drifter and, finally, Edith Scob, a dazed moth within an inch of burning her wings."
(Olivier Séguret - Libération)
