O Táxi 9297
Reinaldo Ferreira / PT, 1927 / 80 min.
True crime’s popularity is by no means a new phenomenon as this 1927 Portuguese film proves. The contrasting atmospheres and smart editing of this captivating crime drama are supported by Igor C. Silva’s new score. Suspenseful, stylish murder mystery.
Director Reinaldo Ferreira, who worked as a journalist, was the Truman Capote of his era, popular, yet controversial due to his speculative crime reporting. When a famous theatre actress was found dead in the streets, the police investigation confirmed his hypothesis about the identity of the perpetrator. This is the successful translation of the suspense elicited by his much-talked about articles into a stylish murder mystery.
Please note: this screening takes place in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ.
