What happens

Perdido por Cem... (1972) é um filme português de António Pedro Vasconcelos, que se integra no movimento do Novo Cinema. Influenciado pelo neorrealismo italiano, que se ia vendo nas sessões dos cineclubes de Lisboa, inspira-se na Nouvelle Vague para se assumir na vanguarda portuguesa, sensível à injustiça social e tenaz nas suas esperanças. Retoma a questão do jovem provinciano que se perde em Lisboa, tema que já Paulo Rocha explorara em Os Verdes Anos (1964). La vie à l’improvise é o tema decorrente e o estilo com que se filma Pedro o Louco, de Godard, (1965) serve de modelo. O filme estreou no cinema Satélite, em Lisboa, no dia 9 de Abril de 1973.
