Visually and sonically arresting throughout, Pêra’s psychological thriller animates the multitude of heteronyms, or uber-pseudonyms, under which Pessoa also published. A fine cast, headed by Miguel Borges and with Victoria Guerra as a bewitching nurse named Ophelya, is superbly choreographed by a director whose approach seems at times to honour both Magritte and Charlie Kaufman. ‘The Nothingness Club’ was in competition at the Rotterdam international Film Festival this year. N.B. Contains flashing images.
