from People Of Lisbon · host People Of Lisbon

In this episode, we spend a evening with Rui Tendinha — one of Portugal’s most recognisable film critics — inside his world of press screenings, late-night cinema gatherings, awards, memories, and contradictions.Being paid to watch movies sounds like a dream job.But behind the premieres, parties, and famous names lies early mornings, brutal honesty, bad films you can’t walk out of, and a lifelong obsession with cinema.From childhood notebooks filled with handwritten reviews to encounters with legends like Dustin Hoffman, Anthony Hopkins, Paul Newman, David Lynch and more, Rui reflects on what cinema has given him — and what it has taken away.We follow him through Lisbon on a rainy night, into a tertúlia dedicated to young actors, through conversations about art-house films, B-movies, dream jobs, critics, creators, and how stories shape who we are.  / ruitendinha  Join Club People of Lisbon!Unlock exclusive access to events, behind-the-scenes content, and special offers for just €10/month!
