Home cinema with Porto Municipal Theatre

Medeia Filmes - Porto Municipal Theatre continue to provide, freely on its website, three films to enjoy at home.

Each film is available at Medeia Filmes website, and there are two films to watch this week.

The film "Street of Shame" by Kenji Mizoguchi is streamed from 7 to 9 May. This film depicts the legality of prostitution in Japan, where five prostitutes struggle with the personal problems that led them to their jobs.

The last film of this week is Jacques Tati's masterpiece "Jour de Fête" (The Big Day), available for viewing from 9 to 12 May.

"In a small French town, the local postman François (Jacques Tati) spends his working hours casually delivering the mail, while being the subject of the townsfolk's teasing.

When a traveling carnival arrives in town, a drunken François is goaded into watching a film depicting the efficiency of the U.S. Postal Service. Inspired by the footage, the hapless François sets out on his bicycle to become just like the mail carriers in the United States."
