How Fernando Pessoa Saved Portugal is quite a quirky little film that dives into the life of the renowned Portuguese writer in a rather comedic light. Set against the backdrop of 1927 Lisbon, it cleverly intertwines the world of advertising with Pessoa's literary genius. The atmosphere is a fascinating mix of whimsy and political undertones, showcasing how something as simple as a drink can cause such uproar. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged with each absurd twist. The performances capture the essence of the time, blending humor with the serious undertones of censorship and rebellion.
