I Was in Lisbon and Remembered You wrestles with the bittersweet nature of migration, especially for Brazilians seeking new lives in Portugal. The film's pacing is gentle, almost contemplative, which complements its documentary-style storytelling. It features a mix of amateur actors and non-actors, giving it an authentic, raw edge that feels very much alive. The performances, though at times uneven, carry an emotional weight that resonates deeply. The atmosphere is steeped in nostalgia and longing, and it captures the essence of displacement without frills. It's intriguing how it blends fiction with documentary elements, creating a unique narrative experience that feels personal yet universal. Not your typical drama, it’s layered and reflective.
