How it feels
Two young lovers from feuding families in 19th century Portugal are torn apart by their parents' rivalry. The story is told through a series of carefully composed still shots in studio sets, creating a deliberately artificial look.

What happens
Amor de Perdição (Lit. Love of Perdition) is a 1978 Portuguese film directed by Manoel de Oliveira. Amor de Perdição is conceived as a succession of "live images" shot with a camera, in still shots, mostly in studio décor, with few outside views. The image composition is quite careful, in keeping with such deliberate artificialism, sometimes with expressionistic traits. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
