About This Movie
The Mother is a 1979 drama film directed by João Mário Grilo. It explores themes of Portuguese oral culture and folklore through a traditional tale that intertwines the living and the dead.
The Mother is somewhat elusive in the collector's market, with early VHS editions being particularly hard to find. Its scarcity is compounded by the limited prints that were circulated, making it a sought-after title for those interested in international cinema or Portuguese film history. Interest from collectors has grown in recent years, especially among those who appreciate Monteiro's unique approach to storytelling and cultural representation.
