Crime Blue Abyss Physical Remorse is inspired by the life and works of Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso. This controversial 20th century painter defied the world avant-garde of his time: βI donβt follow schools. I am an impressionist, cubist, futurist, abstractionist. A melting pot. The real tradition is not to try and relive the past β which is impossible to achieve β but rather something that sets up a follow-through, as happens with parents and children. A child and his father are never alike.β The film follows Amadeoβs motto. It crosses pictorial fiction β suggested by the emblematic picture βThe Processionβ, painted in Paris in 1913 β with Portuguese contemporary reality.
