The Uncertainty Principle
This narratively complex work by a 93-year-old Oliveria follows a widow who remarries and starts a family after losing her place among the elites. Like several of Oliveira’s works, The Uncertainty Principle adapts renowned Portuguese author Agustina Bessa-Luis and stars many members of the filmmaker’s coterie, among them Leonor Baldaque, Leonor Silveira, and Isabel Ruth.
