Ever since his second feature, Aquele Querido Mês de Agosto, was presented at the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes, astonishing audiences with its singular and playful meta-ethnographic approach, Portuguese filmmaker Miguel Gomes has continuously captivated cinephiles worldwide with his bold, imaginative storytelling and unique cinematic voice. His unique blend of fiction and documentary, which is often infused with a humanistic perspective and has a light comedic touch alongside socio-political perspectives, has earned him a devoted following and made him a standout figure in contemporary auteur cinema. The recent excitement surrounding his latest work, Grand Tour, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival – that turned him into the first Lusitanian filmmaker to win the Best Director award in the entire history of the festival – is yet another testament to his ever-growing allure.
