Tráfico
(1998)
Maybe the best Portuguese movie ever done, "Tráfico" is a sad, sad portrait of the modern Portugal and (if there is such a thing, since Portuguese mentality seems have not changed in 800 years), in spite of its sarcastic, even surrealistic mood, a very dark and dejected film, at least for Portuguese viewers. Very funny too (yet,with a kind of humor whose nuances risks sometimes to escape unnoticed by foreign ears), with some of the more sharp-witted sayings and situations I ever saw in cinema. The dialogue with the Portuguese culture it's ever present, making of it a movie that just can be fully understood by an autochton. Notwithstanding - don't miss this masterpiece.
