"There is no one better than James Naremore, in collaboration here with Darlene J. Sadlier, to define and explore the enigmatic artistry of Pedro Costa, the neorealist Rembrandt of Portuguese and world cinema. The authors deliver elegant prose, dry wit, searching analysis of style and substance, and an unsurpassed command of film understanding." - Patrick McGilligan, author of Alfred Hitchcock: A Life in Darkness and Light"In nuanced and richly informed analyses, James Naremore and Darlene J. Sadlier illuminate all aspects of Pedro Costa's films, proving especially insightful on atmosphere, performance, and gesture. As they write of Costa's Horse Money, the director's work has been 'more praised by critics than carefully described and analyzed.' This exhilarating book goes a long way toward correcting that imbalance." - Chris Fujiwara, author of Jacques Tourneur: The Cinema of Nightfall
