Aw. I saw this briefly this morning as I was getting ready for work. I saw Mysteries of Lisbon at LAFF and quite liked it, marathon though it is. I haven’t seen any of Ruiz’s other work, but I’d definitely like to. Tough to know where to start with so many in his filmography, though!
We had a moment of silence at the house this morning while watching a Portuguese news feed of his announcement. And then decided it’s finally time to watch the miniseries of Mysteries of Lisbon. Will have to start tomorrow!
