在奥利维拉那部美得让人心颤的杰作《聚会》中，那些内心欲望和禁忌交织的男男女女聚集在一个岛上，其间一男一女伫立在海边的礁岩上，下面是激荡的海浪，内心是激荡的欲望，女人看着一汪在岩石上凿出的泳池说：“看看这个游泳池。是在岩石上挖成的。这是我丈夫的母亲送给她儿子的礼物。在我看来，它象征着女人的子宫。”而男人只是回答：“我对种种象征都无动于衷。您喜欢赌博吗？”女人的回答是：“不喜欢，我喜欢散步。”这个男人对这个女人的询问与回答，这个女人对这个男人陈述与回答，都包裹着欲望的攻击和对欲望的遮掩和逃避。人在自己欲望面前的审慎和闪躲，直接指点出这些欲望本身的虚饰和沉沦，这个世界变得如此暧昧和纠缠，那些低垂在耳边被语言所裹胁的欲望，被语言所放逐的欲望，成为从红唇中吹出话语，内心的陈述看似整洁和典雅，但是一如碎片和泡沫交待给我们对自己历史的测不准的回忆，对现实的测不准的把握，对未来的测不准的忧郁。这就是奥利维拉对情感世界的展示，在静寂中还原情感运动的紊乱了的轨迹，这个轨迹向一条无法测准的曲线。——cinekino
