O Filme do Repórter X
Event
The strangulation of an actress by her ex-lover, in a taxi, shocked Lisbon society in 1926. In the newspapers, a so-called Repórter X published the results of his own investigation, denouncing the perpetrator of the crime. The journalist was Reinaldo Ferreira, the same man who shortly afterwards directed O Táxi Nº 9297, a crime film that became a classic of Portuguese silent cinema, inspired precisely by that crime. Made at the Invicta Film studios, in Porto, and premiered at Cinema Batalha in 1927, the film now has an original soundtrack, written especially for the Remix Ensemble and for this occasion by the composer from Porto, Igor C. Silva.
