A dark whimsy weaves through the second and most spirited volume of the trilogy, which opens with a rollicking and morally disorienting adventure: the escape of a serial killer who gradually becomes a folk hero by eluding the police. The film continues with stories of an absurd and seemingly unending trial and the ragged misadventures of a Maltese poodle. 2015, DCP, in Portuguese with English subtitles, France/Germany/Portugal/Switzerland, 131 minutes.
