Amadeo

History/Drama, Portugal 2023

How many lives are there in Amadeo de Souza Cardoso’s brief life? Amadeo: a mysteriously restless and indefatigable man as if always sensing brevity of the time he had left. An artist out of definition, whose painting questions the painting itself, indomitable, scandalous and misunderstood. Amadeo's avant-garde work was often overlooked during his lifetime. The film aims to tell the story of Amadeo, who was far ahead of his time, and his art. This is achieved through breathtaking images, a sensitive narrative style and great acting. The film is a visual and emotional journey that celebrates the soul of art.
