TRAVELLER
Film director
Miguel Gonçalves
Mendes
on Lisbon
“If you look at any atlas, you will see
that Lisbon is not at the far end of
Europe – it is the centre of the world.
The city’s greatest charm is that it’s
amix of an imperial capital and a
village. I love the light, the poetry and
the humanity.There aremany
beautiful viewpoints here, but my
favourite thing to do is to take a ferry
to the other side of the
Tejo
(Tagus)
River and watch the sunset.”
Mendes’s moving documentary
José and Pilar was
Portugal’s submission for the 2012 Best Foreign
Language FilmOscar.
