SANTOVENA RODRIGUEZ, Marianela. La muerte lenta: Um filme falado, de Manoel de Oliveira. Acta poét [online]. 2007, vol.28, n.1-2, pp.337-346. ISSN 2448-735X.

We live in an age full of images and sounds, an age when our sight is educated by camera lenses and our memory seems to have a soundtrack. Today, when every meaning is grasped necessarily through the media, we feel far away from fables, we lose grip of novels, and yet, we still believe in a linear, theleological idea of History. Only now we have to think of History in terms of montage. Theory has shunned discussing cinema in technical terms. But cinema itself has not feared questioning theory by means of technique. The movies of Manoel de Oliveira constitute a significant example of this.
