What happens

Sete Balas para Selma (1967) é um filme português de António de Macedo, um policial, que se enquadra no movimento vanguardista do Novo Cinema, que se desenvolveu em Portugal a partir de 1962. Depois de Domingo à Tarde (1965), é a segunda obra de Macedo integrada nesse movimento, influenciado pelo neo-realismo e pela Nouvelle Vague, escola que Macedo não encara do mesmo modo que os seus companheiros vanguardistas. O filme estreou nos cinemas Éden e Alvalade, em Lisboa, a 3 de Novembro de 1967. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
