Our Father – The Last Days of a Dictator dives deep into the psyche of Salazar as he grapples with the loss of power. Set in a dimly lit palace, the atmosphere is thick with tension and denial. The pacing feels deliberate, almost oppressive, reflecting Salazar’s state of mind. You’ve got this unique blend of intimate performances from the ensemble cast that brings a haunting realism to the story. It’s not just about a dictator's downfall; it’s about isolation, loyalty, and the human condition wrapped in a historical context. The practical effects and set design really pull you into 1960s Portugal, making you feel the weight of that era. There’s a certain ambiguity in Salazar's character that keeps you guessing about his desires and motives throughout.
