"Santo António - O Casamenteiro de Lisboa" has the best opening for a Portuguese film in two years

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 14:02

The film "Santo António - O Casamenteiro de Lisboa" achieved the best opening for a Portuguese film in two years. This work represents a significant success for national cinema.

The Portuguese-French director Ruben Alves is the name behind this project. Following the great success of "A Gaiola Dourada", which achieved great popularity with audiences, the director returned to tell a new story set in Lisbon.

However, the gaze that Alves places on the Portuguese capital in this film is not merely celebratory. The work presents a comic perspective, but also incorporates critical and melancholic elements about the city and its inhabitants.

Why this matters

This news is relevant for the Portuguese audience because it marks a positive moment for national cinema, demonstrating that Portuguese productions can achieve significant commercial success. The fact that it is Ruben Alves, a director already recognized by the Portuguese public, returning with a new work about Lisbon reinforces the cultural and tourist interest in the Portuguese capital.
