description The article aims to analyze Fernando Carrilho’s film titled Ophiussa – Uma Cidade de Fernando Pessoa in terms of its imagistic potential as “poetry cinema” and based on excerpts from Pessoa’s texts that appear throughout the film. The Lisbon portrayed by the filmmaker is configured as a poetic space constructed through a series of images of various scenarios and characters that make up the city, ultimately acquiring another dimension with Pessoa’s presence. In order to capture this labyrinthine translation of meanings within the urban space, a detailed analysis of some scenes from the film was conducted, particularly those emphasizing the multiplicity of concrete and dreamlike experiences in Lisbon. The choice was made to explore the mythical origin, historical trajectory, and transformations experienced by the city, drawing from Pessoa’s perspective present in the Livro do Desassossego, the poem “Tabacaria” by Álvaro de Campos, and examples from orthonymous poetry.
