Rita Azevedo Gomes’ cinematographic oeuvre is a meeting place for literature and cinema. She worked with Agustina Bessa-Luís on a number of occasions. The last was on the film A Portuguesa [The Portuguese], which was based on a short story of the same name by Robert Musil, with dialogues written by Agustina Bessa-Luís. In this ‘Register’ the film director and screenwriter evokes the rich life and approach to death of the writer of A Sibila [The Sybil]. ‘And now, it is in a state somewhere between fervour and panic that I am writing here, following only my own memories, in my search for Agustina.’ As Rita recalls what she found in her and heard from her, she paints us a personal portrait of this exceptional author and her ‘infinite writing, this blanket that covers and discovers us all’.
