    Stars:

    In 1663, Father Antonio Vieira, a famous Jesuit priest who was a close friend of the late King Joao IV, is summoned before the Tribunal of the terrible Inquisition. His position there is weakened by plots and misunderstandings. In front of the judges, Vieira reviews his past: his youth spent in Brazil and as a novitiate in Bahia, his involvement in the Indian cause, and his first successes in the pulpit. After the Inquisition deprives him of his freedom of speech, he flees to Rome where he achieves a good reputation and much success. The Pope decides to keep him within his jurisdiction. Queen Christina of Sweden, who had been living in Rome since her abdication, keeps Vieira at court and insists he become her confessor. But Vieira misses his country and returns to Portugal. There, the cold reception by the new king, Dom Pedro, persuades him to leave for Brazil where he spends his final days.

    Word and Utopia / Palavra e Utopia (2000) [Re-UP]

    The dean of Portuguese cinema, Manoel de Oliveira, has blazed an arthouse career with literary adaptations and mind-teasers. In "Word and Utopia," he makes a script out of the collected sermons of a 17th-century Jesuit priest, which in terms of natural cinematic affinity rate just above the telephone book. Lacking the playfulness of his best work, pic narrows its focus so much that even dyed-in-the-wool Oliveira fans may tune out at times. Nevertheless, though sidestepping period drama to be a film about the use of words, pic is able to turn this unpromising material into some riveting moments of missionary fervor, political conviction and rage against encroaching death. Clearly a tough sell, this challenging film is likely to find its main audience among the regulars.

    Young Father Antonio Vieira (Ricardo Trepa) is a Jesuit missionary in Brazil who has vowed to dedicate his life to fighting slavery and the abuse of Indians and blacks. He takes off for Portugal, survives a shipwreck, gets King Joao IV's support for his cause and becomes the royal family's confessor. Using extremely simple images including a map, a rough sea and Vieira staggering along the shore, Oliveira cuts his storytelling to a bare minimum. To illustrate how popular his sermons are, a crowd of Indians is shown standing outside a packed church.

    In his middle years, Vieira (Luis Miguel Cintra) becomes famous even in Rome for these stirring sermons, preaching against colonialism, in favor of converted Jews and other progressive ideas of the time. He dazzles Queen Christina of Sweden (radiantly limned by Oliveira's muse, Leonor Silveira, almost the only female in the film), who asks him to become her confessor. He makes an enemy of the Portuguese Inquisition, and is frequently called to account for his more visionary, unorthodox ideas.

    Lima Duarte plays the priest in his later years, a feisty, controversial figure on the international scene. Losing his eyesight, he dictates ever crankier letters to popes and kings through his faithful secretary at the mission. In the final scenes he becomes an intellectual, slightly dotty version of King Lear, raging against old age and working on a multivolume "History of the Future."

    Word and Utopia / Palavra e Utopia (2000) [Re-UP]

    When Father Vieira isn't onscreen preaching and explaining himself, his writings, sermons and letters are heard in an offscreen voiceover, so there is scarcely a nonverbal moment. This is hard on non-Portuguese speakers, forced to read enough subtitles to fill a small book.

    Word and Utopia / Palavra e Utopia (2000) [Re-UP]

    The three Vieiras – Trepa, Cintra and Duarte – are very different from one another, each bringing the great historical figure to life via his ideas, without the daily minutiae that pad most costume dramas. Renato Berta's lensing keeps the style simple, showing a few architectural details or colors to indicate a place and time.

    Word and Utopia / Palavra e Utopia (2000) [Re-UP]

    Portuguese master Manoel de Oliveira keeps on ticking at age 94 with this portrait of a 17th century priest, Padre António Vieira (played by three different actors at three different ages), dedicated to helping Indians and blacks. Oliveira skips the usual bio-pic formula in favor of an extremely slow exploration of Vieira's soul. Each set-up is like a painting and the camera never moves an inch away from them. Vieira's passion and beliefs bring certain scenes to life, while other scenes quietly explore the man's essence. Word and Utopia can be rough going, but it's well worth it.
