Rita Blanco and Joaquim Monchique are the protagonists of "Santo António - O Casamenteiro de Lisboa", a new melancholic comedy directed by Ruben Alves. The two actors have maintained a years-long relationship of complicity with the director, having worked together on previous projects.
In an interview with SAPO, the two actors delved into the experience of filming this new movie. The long-standing collaboration between the artists and the director seems to have been fundamental to the construction of this story.
The comedy addresses deep themes such as loneliness, as suggested by the phrase referenced in the interview title: "The sooner we accept loneliness, the better". The film seems to balance humor and melancholy in its narrative.
The promotion of the film thus brings together Blanco and Monchique in a partnership that has already proven to work well over the years with Ruben Alves' cinematic vision.
