Plot
Dora (
Adelaide de Sousa ) divides her time between her work as a beautician, her policeman husband António (Luís Miguel Cintra ), and her involvement in left-wing politics. Nelson (Edgar Morais ) will, through violent and mad acts, make them realize that what they have in the present is more valuable than what they reject from the past and desire for the future.Cast
Production
The film was produced by
Paulo Branco , one of the European most respected film producers.After"Andre Valente" , acclaimed by festivals and international media, Ruivo had the opportunity to shoot with some of the Portuguese best actors, which, along with the beautiful cinematography byRui Pocas give the movie a strong energy that is seen on screen.The already known security and fluidity of Catarina's work matches perfectly with a pertinent and impulsive screenplay.The choice of young talents such asEdgar Morais (only 16 years old when shooting "From Now On"), and some cinema "monsters" likeLuis Miguel Cintra andIsabel Ruth was extremely wise;Edgar Morais proved to be one of the "strongest" new-generation actors,Luis Miguel Cintra andIsabel Ruth give performances as "big" as themselves.The great cast contributes to the creation of a field where characters are fenced and stories of power, persistence, love and sensibility are born."From Now On" screened for the first time in 2007 at theRio Film Festival , (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) and was widely released in France and Germany September 18, 2007.The officialpremiere took place inLisbon ,Portugal January 24, 2008.oundtrack
The soundtrack was composed by
Vasco Pimentel . It is notable for its use of sharp, string instruments to create a cold and discomforting sound from instruments frequently used for their warmth and softness.References
