Requiem – by A.Tanner, Tabucchi, Pessoa and Lisbon
. (directed by Alain Tanner)
Artfilm -Requiem this Lisbon is a city of soul.
The living and the dead meet and settle accounts. In the footsteps of the poet Fernando Pessoa, in a desolate Lisbon, between dream and reality, people from the present and ghosts from the past converse in a manner both grave and light-hearted, and shrug off their burden of regret between midday and midnight of the last Sunday in July
Antonio Tabucchi 
and Fernando Pessoa
The “reality” of the worlds created by Pessoa and Tabucchi often combines this dreamlike state with the Portuguese concept of saudade, which, according to Tabucchi, “describes the melancholic nostalgia one feels for people, things, pleasures, and times now lost.” The world, real or imagined, seems just beyond reach.
