Egas’ Ego

About This Movie

So, there's this film, Egas’ Ego, from 2020, right? It dives into the life of Egas Moniz, a figure who really pushes the envelope in a society that’s not exactly receptive to innovation. The atmosphere is quite tense, almost claustrophobic, as you see his struggle against a backdrop of skepticism. The pacing is deliberate, giving you room to breathe, but also to feel the weight of his ambition. Performances are solid, especially in how they portray Moniz's internal conflicts. It’s interesting how the film balances drama with the exploration of scientific endeavor. Practical effects are minimal but effective, and the whole thing feels like an intimate character study rather than just a biopic. There’s something raw about it that sticks with you.
