Manoel de Oliveira turns 102 today and, as Vitor Pinto reports in Cineuropa, the Portuguese are celebrating with a re-release of his debut feature, Aniki Bóbó, made back in 1942. The Afp reports that the world's oldest living director still has no plans to retire: "'I have several projects up my sleeve,' including another film based on Portuguese author Agustina Bessa Luis's latest book A ronda da noite (The Night Watch).

The Strange Case of Angélica
This year, Cannes’ Un Certain Regard sidebar presents a line-up of appealing titles by both young and established directors, from Xavier Dolan and Agnès Kocsis to Jean-Luc Godard and Manoel de Oliveira, who opened the programme on Friday. At 101, the world’s oldest director seems determined not to stop and The Strange Case of Angélica is there to prove it.
After adapting a short story by Eça de Queiroz, Eccentricities of a Blond-Haired Girl (which premiered in Berlin in 2009), Oliveira this time decided to take a journey down memory lane for a story whose first draft he wrote back in 1952. Set in the city of Régua – in the region of Douro, where Oliveira lays most of his plots – Angélica centres on Isaac (Ricardo Trepa), a young photographer who is unexpectedly asked by a wealthy family to photograph their daughter, Angélica (Pilar Lopez de Ayala).
