“Explores ‘invisible links’ between authors H.P. Lovecraft and Fernando Pessoa in a way that will surely stand out, both visually and in terms of sound”
– Georg Szalai / The Hollywood Reporter

“The most meaty and accomplished experimental horror of [director Pêra’s] career to date”
– Meredith Taylor / Filmuforia

“An engaging work of nightmares and alien presences”
– Antonio D’Onofrio / Sentieri Selvaggi

“Portuguese experimental filmmaker Edgar Pêra reanimates two literary giants, Fernando Pessoa and H.P. Lovecraft, in his latest work Telepathic Letters in order to explore the philosophical and artistic connections between them. —

[It] imagines a fictional correspondence between Pessoa and Lovecraft, drawing on their letters, essays, poems and fiction. Despite their vastly different backgrounds and philosophies – Pessoa’s introspective and fragmented poetic sensibility contrasts sharply with Lovecraft’s cosmic horror and existential dread – Pêra identifies a shared preoccupation with the metaphysical, the unknown and the nature of creative work. —

It merges HR Giger’s penchant for the grotesque, particularly in relation to Lovecraft’s cosmic horror, with René Magritte’s illusions of reality, reflecting Pessoa’s surrealistic tendencies, with dread and insanity as the central motifs of their imagined correspondence.” – Martin Kudláč / Cineuropa
