Recollections of the Yellow House (Portuguese: Recordações da Casa Amarela) is a 1989 Portuguese film directed by João César Monteiro.[1]
João de Deus, a middle-aged man, lives in a cheap boarding house in an old part of Lisbon. He relies on Franz Schubert's music and films to stave off misery. After harassing his landlord's daughters, he is thrown out of his room. He is sent to a mental hospital, but he eventually manages to escape through the sewers.
It was awarded the Silver Lion at the 46th Venice International Film Festival.[2]
