“…The global economic recession of the late 2000s impacted the Portuguese film industry as the funds for the Portuguese Film Institute evaporated, leaving the Portuguese cinema in a state of limbo [2].

“…To promote cinema as an art, and Portugal as a modern nation on the international film scene, the regime initiated the Fundo Nacional do Cinema (National Cinema Fund) in 1948 and provided funding to several Portuguese filmmakers, and to those who wished to study abroad. The national fund also created the Portuguese Film Archive [2]. Nonetheless, during the 1950s, the Portuguese film industry was stagnant.…”

“…But while in the novel these figures are meant to critique religious fanaticism, the parochialism and the retrograde mentality of the country, in the film the characters appear as clichés to identify social groups easily recognizable (such as the religious women, homosexuals, delinquents or amoral priests) and to integrate themselves in a scenario that aims to draw attention to the cosmopolitan current action rather than to dialogue or to the psychological profile of the characters. Thus, while in the novel the characters "claim a social and cultural representativeness adjusted to a critical purpose" (Reis, 2005, p. 87), in the film the interventions are simplified in order to emphasize sexual and action scenes that include aesthetic and diegetic influences from the North-American action series, from the Portuguese soap operas and from the television journalism of sensationalist propensity (Baptista, 2008). Therefore, although in the novel the characters are used as social representation; in the adaptation the fictional beings operate as attractive to sustain a narrative of action.…”

“…Importa referir que, apesar da recorrente utilização do termo "cinema português" para nos referirmos genericamente às produções cinematográficas nacionais, percebidas como autorrepresentação de determinados discursos culturais ou ideológicos da nação, é um termo controverso e de complexa definição 1 . Tiago Baptista indica que se verificou um aproveitamento ideológico e político dos cinemas nacionais, em que o conceito de "cinema português" foi usado como um conceito transparente e somente geográfico (Baptista, 2010), sendo que a discussão ontológica e conceptual sobre "cinema português" persiste.…”

“…Segundo Baptista (2010), existem dois períodos na história do cinema em Portugal: desde a década de 1890 até à década de 1960 (no qual se insere O Pátio das Cantigas) e a fase do "cinema novo" a partir de 1960 até à atualidade. Nessa primeira fase, incluem-se sobretudo as comédias, bem aceites pelas audiências e utilizadas para intensificar questões nacionalistas, tal como O Pátio das Cantigas.…”
