THE BLACK BOOK OF FATHER DINIS<\/h2>\nTHE BLACK BOOK OF FATHER DINIS<\/h2>\n| 2020 – 103′ –\u00a0\u00a0Drama \/ History \/ Romance\u00a0 – THE BLACK BOOK OF FATHER DINIS explores the tumultuous lives of Laura (Lou de La\u00e2ge), a peasant maid, and Sebastian (Vasco Varela da Silva), the young orphan in her charge, against a backdrop of overflowing passion and revolutionary intrigue in Europe at the twilight of the 18th century. An unlikely adventure yarn that strides the continent, from Rome and Venice to London and Paris, with whispers of conspiracies from the clergy, the military, and the gentry, this sumptuous period piece ponders the intertwined nature of fate, desire, and duty. Conceived by director Valeria Sarmiento as an appendix to the expansive literary maze of her late partner Raul Ruiz\u2019s landmark MYSTERIES OF LISBON, this picaresque chronicle both enriches the earlier work and stands on its own as a grand meditation of the stories we construct about ourselves.<\/em><\/p>\n THE BLACK BOOK OF FATHER DINIS | 2020 – 103′ –\u00a0\u00a0Drama \/ History \/ Romance\u00a0 – Written and\u00a0Directed by\u00a0Valeria Sarmiento.
