‘O Conquistador Conquistado’ takes a humorous look at the reality of the contemporary tourist experience.
It forms part of the anthology film ‘Centro Histórico’, which brings together segments directed by Manoel de Oliveira, Aki Kaurismäki, Pedro Costa and Victor Erice
Manoel de Oliveira (1908–2015) was a legendary Portuguese filmmaker whose career spanned over 80 years—from silent cinema to the 21st century. Known for his poetic, philosophical, and highly original style, Oliveira directed acclaimed works such as "Aniki-Bobó", "The Rite of Spring", and "Abraham’s Valley", often blending literature, theatre, and history. Celebrated at Cannes, Venice, and Berlin, he received numerous international awards, including the Honorary Palme d’Or. Oliveira remained creatively active well past 100, leaving behind a singular legacy in world cinema.
