Portuguese director Manoel de Oliveira celebrates his 100th birthday this month. This centenarian, who has been making movies since 1931 and is little known in this country, is still one of the most vital and unorthodox artists working in the world today. In 1993, at the age of 85, de Oliveira directed what a number of European critics describe as his chef-d'oeuvre: "Valley of Abraham" ("Vale Abraao"), a contemporary variation on Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary," inspired by Agustina Bessa-Luis's Portuguese novel also titled "Valley of Abraham."
