FROM ACCLAIMED DIRECTOR MANOEL DE OLIVEIRA,
"ECCENTRICITIES OF A BLONDE-HAIRED GIRL"
ON DVD SEPTEMBER 21, 2010
"Breathes the air of a dreamy, timeless romanticism...
Oliveira brings a dry, sensual elegance to this tale of hearts
confounded by circumstances and silences, and he portrays social formalities
as mating rituals for human animals on the verge of brutality."
- Richard Brody, The New Yorker
