In Vanda's Room

Early in director Pedro Costa's documentary-style narrative film shot on DV (digital video), addict Vanda and sister Lena on the bed, profane, natural light, low angles and static camera, from the second film in the trilogy shot in Lisbon's Fontainhas slum, In Vanda's Room, 2001.

Nearly an hour into director Pedro Costa's "docufiction" hybrid, one of the first true exterior shots, demonstrating the ongoing demolition of the Fontainhas slum in Lisbon, then scenes with addict Vanda, sister Lena and mother Zita Duarte, with coarse language, from In Vanda's Room, 2001.
