Pedro Costa

Pedro Costa (1959, Lisbon, Portugal) is a solitaire who dwells outside the system. Having studied history and film editing, his feature debut was Blood (O Sangue, 1989). He soon became disillusioned with the world of cinema and did everything to break the conventions in his next picture, House of Lava (Casa de lava), shooting "at random", without a script or even actors. He kept the same approach in the trilogy inspired by the Lisbon slum of Fontainhas and comprising Bones (Ossos), In Vanda's Room (No Quarto da Vanda) and Colossal Youth (Juventude Em Marcha). Horse Money is a loose follow-up of the latter film.
