What Is The Fatalist About?
The premise of The Fatalist without spoilers.
The film probes the master‑servant dynamic in João Botelho’s version of Diderot’s Jacques le Fataliste. While Tiago (Rogério Samora) drives his master (André Gomes) through the Portuguese countryside, the pair engage in philosophical dialogue. Tiago recounts his military past and sexual adventures, including a tale of a scorned lover who engineers a prostitute’s rise to society lady to exact revenge on a nobleman who spurned her.
