Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te tau 1990 i whakahaeretia e Oliveira a "No, or the Vain Glory of Command" ("Non, ou a Vã Glória de Mandar"), ko Cintra, Dória me Silveira te kaiwhakaari. Ko te kiriata e whakaatu ana i te hitori o te ope taua o Portugal, e arotahi ana ki ona hinganga i runga i ona wikitoria. Ko te mahi hītori o te kiriata ko te kohurutanga o Viriathus, te Pakanga o Toro, te
Ko te Pakanga o Alcácer Quibir me te Pakanga o nga Kawanatanga Portuguese. Ko te take anake ki nga whakaaturanga hitori ko te raupapa e whakaatu ana i te Isle of Love pakiwaitara, e whakanui ana i nga kairangahau Portuguese me nga kairangahau, kaua ki ona ahua hoia. Kei te Moutere o te Aroha ngā kupiki whai parirau, ngā ngārara ataahua me te atua wahine a Venus. I whakataetae te kiriata i te 1990 Cannes Film Festival. I te tau 1991, i whakahaerehia e Oliveira te "The Divine Comedy" ("A Divina Comédia"). I whakatakotoria i roto i te whare hinengaro, ehara te kiriata i te whakahoutanga o te mahi rongonui a Dante Alighieri engari i ahu mai i nga korero i runga i te Paipera, te whakaari a José Régio "A Salvação do Mundo", a Fyodor Dostoyevsky "Crime and Punishment" me "The Brothers Karamazov", me Friedrich Nietzsche's "Antichrist". I kii a Oliveira ko nga tuhinga katoa e whakamahia ana e ia "e pa ana ki te raruraru o te hara me te taea o te whakaoranga, a i roto i tenei tikanga ka ahu katoa mai i te puna kotahi". Ko te kiriata a Maria de Medeiros, Miguel Guilherme, Luís Miguel Cintra, Leonor Silveira me Diogo Dória i whakataetae i te 1991 Venice Film Festival, i reira i riro ai te Tohu Tohu Tohu Tohu Tohu Tohu Tohu Tohu.
