Storyline
Ossos 1997 The first film in Pedro Costas transformative trilogy about Fontainhas, an impoverished quarter of Lisbon, Ossos is a tale of young lives torn apart by desperation After a suicidal teenage girl gives birth, she misguidedly entrusts her babys safety to the troubled, deadbeat father, whose violent actions take the viewer on a tour of the foreboding, crumbling shantytown in which they live With its reserved, shadowy cinematography by Emmanuel Machuel who collaborated with Bresson on Largent, Ossos is a haunting look at a devastated community
