The Devil Wears Prada 2 Is Here

If you walked past the Algarcine Cinema on Rua Cândido dos Reis this week and noticed a slightly dressier than usual crowd filing upstairs, you were not imagining it. The Devil Wears Prada 2 landed in cinemas worldwide and audiences have turned up in a way that suggests they took the brief seriously.

What makes watching it in Lagos specifically pleasurable is the contrast. You walk in from bright Algarve sunshine, past the bars of Rua Cândido dos Reis, up to the old-fashioned interior of a cinema that still does intervals and sells ice cream from a tray. The world of the film — grey New York, brutal fashion weeks — feels particularly distant from where you are sitting.

The Algarcine shows English-language films in the original version with Portuguese subtitles. Check filmspot.pt for current showtimes. After the film, the obvious move is a drink on the terrace at Bon Vivant, two minutes away on foot.

Now showing at Algarcine Cinema de Lagos, Lagoshopping, Rua Cândido dos Reis.
