Christopher Columbus, the Enigma
A romanticized fictional account set on both sides of the Atlantic of a 50-year quest into the origins of Christopher Columbus. Accurately described by the century-old de Oliveira as “neither scientific, nor historical, nor truly biographical in nature, but a form of romanticized fiction,” the film is a startling work of intellectual curiosity.
