About
(João César Monteiro, 1989, Portugal, 122 min, in Portuguese with English subtitles)
In this iconic first appearance of his skeletal, tramp-like alter ego, João César Monteiro directs himself as a penniless flâneur named João de Deus who lives in a decaying Lisbon boarding house. He spends his days peeping on the landladys clarinet-playing daughter, nursing his numerous physical ailments, haunting old cafes, whispering poetry, and listening to Franz Schubert. Tiptoeing around like a perverted Jacques Tati, Mr. Joãos erotic fantasies begin to spiral and take a dangerous turn. After a shocking theft and assault, he is forced out on the street, where his madness ripens in a masquerade of disguises and multiple personalities. In a mental hospital where hes finally admitted, João undergoes an unholy transfiguration as the vampire Nosferatu. Subtitled A Portuguese Comedy and deliberately evoking the popular spectacles of yore, Recollections of the Yellow House is both a sensuous and slow-burn circus act and a jewel of ingenious formal ideas and sublime lyricism. Considered by many to be Monteiros crowning achievement, the film inaugurated an opulent series of late-period romps featuring the endearing and dastardly João de Deus, the man you love to hate.

Accessibility
Ticketing, concessions, cinemas, restrooms, and our public edit lab are located on Northwest Film Forum's ground floor, which is wheelchair accessible. We have a limited number of assistive listening devices available for programs hosted in our larger theater, Cinema 1. These devices are maintained by the Technical Director, and can be requested at the ticketing and concessions counter.
The Forum does NOT have assistive devices for the visually impaired, and is not (yet) a scent-free venue. Our commitment to increasing access for our audiences is ongoing, and we welcome all public input on the subject!
If you have additional specific questions about accessibility at our venue, please contact our Patron Services Manager at rajah@nwfilmforum.org
