Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who loves trying to stay one step ahead and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. One to watch when you can give it your full attention.
The mood
Tense.
The pace
Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 40 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in Portuguese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Gothic film in a monastery, where sensual monks murder the children they receive, with images of fantastic, painted from the author own painting and also from the Hammer films and the Saxon plastic tradition of romanticism.
