Summary
Directed by Valeria Sarmiento, O Caderno Negro is a sumptuous period piece that serves as both an appendix to Raul Ruiz's Mysteries of Lisbon and a standalone grand meditation on the stories we construct about ourselves. Set against the backdrop of Europe at the twilight of the 18th century, it ponders the nature of fate, desire, and duty through the lives of its two protagonists.
