Portuguese filmmaker and leader of the country's 'Young Cinema,' Jose Fonseca e Costa is best known for creating one of the most popular films in Portugal, Kilas (1981). Unlike many of his contemporaries, Costa's films do not affect a pastoral stillness and slow pace. Instead they are imbued with dry wit and focused upon lively subjects such as sex, the military, the family, and marriage.
