Portuguese Films

Films are listed alphabetically by the first word of the film's English title, but the Portuguese title is also listed. If you cannot find what you are looking for, ask an LTC employee for assistance. You can search for more information about a particular film using a very helpful and resource, the Internet Movie Database. (Clicking will open it in a new window). Films are subtitled in English unless otherwise noted. To recommend a Portuguese film that is not yet in the LTC collection, send an email to Viktor Berberi, LTC Director: berberiv@morris.umn.edu
