O seu filme mais recente, uma adaptação de um conto do século XIX, é, sem dúvida, um dos mais interessantes dos últimos anos. A premissa é simples: num comboio, um homem conta a sua história de amor e desilusão a uma atenta dama de meia-idade. O seu objecto de desejo? A rapariga loura que dá o nome ao filme. Embora em estilo de fábula, breve e divertida, o significado intelectual torna esta surpreendente estória tão moderna quanto anacrónica. The tireless Manoel de Oliveira, now over 100 years old, can trace his directorial career back to the silent era.

The premise is simple: while on the train, a man recounts his tale of love and woe to a receptive middle-aged lady. His object of desire? The titular blond-haired girl. Though fable-like, droll and brief, the intellectual heft makes this surprising tale both modern and anachronistic.
