2019 New York Film Festival: Main Slate Film 'Vitalina Verela' - trailer

Vitalina Varela

Dir. Pedro Costa

Pedro Costa's latest, a film of deeply concentrated beauty, stars nonprofessional actor Vitalina Varela in a truly remarkable performance, reprising and expanding upon her haunted supporting role from Costa's Horse Money. She plays a Cape Verdean woman who has come to Fontainhas for her husband's funeral after being separated from him for decades.
