One Hundred Times Lost

About This Movie

One Hundred Times Lost weaves a quiet story against the backdrop of Lisbon, capturing a kind of aimless wanderlust that resonates deeply. Artur's encounters with Rui and Joana unfold with a slow, almost meditative pacing that allows the characters’ emotional layers to reveal themselves. The thematic exploration of rural roots and hidden passions creates a striking contrast with the bustling city life, making each frame feel rich with unspoken tension. The performances are subtly nuanced, drawing you into their shared vulnerabilities and unspoken connections. It’s the kind of film where the atmosphere envelops you, making you feel the weight of their journeys even as they grapple with their individual demons.

This film is relatively obscure, with limited releases over the years, making it a challenge to find in good condition. VHS and early DVD formats seem to be more common, but collectors often seek out any remastered versions that pop up, as they appreciate the film's atmospheric qualities. Given its unique pacing and themes, there’s a niche interest among those drawn to lesser-known works from the genre, particularly from the 1970s European cinema scene.
