Resumo(s)
In 2010, the Portuguese screenwriter/director Manoel de Oliveira (1908-2015) would finally film Angelica, one of his most beloved screenplays. Inspired on a real episode – the death of a beautiful young woman and the consequences of her post mortem photo (photo taken by Oliveira himself) –, the screenplay was originally written (1950/54) during the Portuguese Estado Novo Dictatorship (1933–74), whose authorities systematically rejected (financing) the project. The screenplay was later published in 1988 with a new decoupage, having the indication of the expected time (in minutes) for each shot. Ten years after, in 1998, a new version, published by the French editor Dis-Voir, improved the screenplay by adding photos of the sets. Finally, in 2010, the shooting script arrived with a new title – The Strange Case of Angelica - and some additional changes. The screenplay was developed throughout the course of almost sixty years, having four main versions: 1950/54; 1988; 1998; 2010. Through its reading, it is possible to perceive how the film envisioned by Oliveira subtly evolved, achieving refined nuances that diverge from the original idea. Following the screenplay evolution, this article explores how many political, historical and financial aspects impact the progression of the writings. Manoel de Oliveira’s resilience to tell a story emerges as we move through the analysis of the screenplay development, showing us how his fidelity to his first intuition was kept alive, although shaped and refined by his artistic maturity and an extraordinary ability to adapt.
