Variety, 05/29/1995, "...This is high Oliveira country, where patience, thought and an offbeat sense of humor are amply repaid..." Los Angeles Times, 12/01/1995, p.F12, "...THE CONVENT is a sly, beautiful enigma of a movie, a reflection upon the eternal mystery of life itself..." Chicago Sun-Times, 01/26/1997, p.30, "...Deneuve is perfectly in sync with the film's odd ebb and flow. She transforms the surroundings with her accustomary beauty and cool resolve..." Title NoteCo-produced by Madragoa Filmes (Portugal) and Gemini Films (France) with the participation of IPACA (Portugal), Secretaria de Estados de Cultura (Portugal), and Canal+ (France). Release NoteDVD Features: Product NotesThis latest work by the 86-year-old Portuguese writer-director Manoel de Oliveira showcases his eye for beautiful compositions, and his taste for detailed, magical narratives. And for the first time, de Oliveira works with movie stars--Catherine Deneuve and John Malkovich. An American professor and his dissatisfied wife, Hélene, journey to a remote monastery to conduct research. There, he hopes to find evidence to prove his thesis that William Shakespeare was actually a Sephardic Jew. When they arrive, the couple encounters the monastery's strange inhabitants, including the ancient building's sinister guardian, Baltar. De Oliveira suggests that one of the characters--maybe even Baltar or Hélene--is actually Satan, and develops a complex conflict between good and evil.
