In Vanda's Room
A bleak, immersive portrait of addiction and marginalization in Lisbon's underworld, told through fragmented observation rather than narrative arc.
An unflinching, fragmentary look at a handful of self-destructive, marginalized people, but taking as main focus the heroin-addicted Vanda Duarte.
