In the beginning of the story when the photographer has his first experience with the recently decreased woman, he is compelled to run out a photograph a group of workers he see in the vineyard across from his hotel. As he hangs the developed pictures of his subject the world outside his apartment takes on a very grainy, washed out appearance.
The feeling is that the photographer is already starting to withdraw from the outside world and is being taken into Angelica's world.
He runs to the vineyard through a small city that is taken out of time. The original story is set in the 1950s. In fact, this was a project that was simmering off and on for 50 years. When the director decided to make the film he declined to change any of the surroundings to what they would have been in the original story.
Fortunately the filming takes place so that the surroundings are minimized and we don't see an obvious difference. The entire story takes place when time seems to have stopped.
As he enters the vineyard the workers are tilling the soil by hand, the way it was done in the 50's. When the scene is revisited later in the film a power rotor-tiller is doing much the same thing, screeching and belching dirt and rocks to no apparent end.
The understated Trepa gradually heightens Isaac's distress until he reaches a breaking point, then climaxes with visually startling results. The brief visual f/x are secondary to cinematographer Sabine Lancelin's magnificent images, which blend Gothic with the everyday while recalling Gordon Willis at his peak. Brief selections of 19th-century piano music gracefully bridge scenes in this increasingly strange tale, which De Oliveira began in the early 1950s. Production designers Christian Marti and Jose Pedro Penha play with the period, though action is set in the present.
