Sostiene Pereira
- Drama
Lisbon, 1938. Mr. Pereira is the editor of the culture section of an evening paper. Although fascism is on the rise in Europe, like in nearby civil war Spain or even inside Portugal itself in the form of Salazar's regime, Pereira only concerns himself with writing bios and translating French novels. Things change after he hires a young writer as his assistant, getting to know also his girlfriend – both opponents to the regime – and reluctantly helps them when they begin to get in trouble for subversive activities. Eventually, he's forced to take a stand...
Pereira Declares is a 1995 drama set in fascist-era Lisbon, following a newspaper editor who is drawn into political resistance despite his initial indifference. Starring Marcello Mastroianni, the film explores how ordinary people confront moral choices when authoritarianism threatens their world. This Italian-French co-production adaptation of Antonio Tabucchi's novel premiered at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.
