Blurring Reality: Asphalt Guerrilla Explores the Fractured Nature of Our Times Edgar Pêra's new film, Asphalt Guerrilla, is set against the tumultuous backdrop of 1980s Portugal.
On its surface, it appears to be a fictionalized account of the militant group FP 25, which carried out bombings and bank robberies between 1980 and 1987.
However, scratch beneath the surface, and Pêra's film reveals itself to be something far more complex – a meta commentary on the nature of filmmaking.
