A Month in Thailand (2012)

loved it

[7/10 · 10 September 2022]

Like others said. It's a romanian movie, don't expect action or comedy, it's just an idea placed in a movie. It could happen, I'm pretty sure it happens often. Maybe the charcaters are dull but that's the context, actually some of the moments are romanian authenthic, no doubt about it.

I liked that I somehow felt a bit young again, watching the New Year Eve events in this movie.. I've been through some of those and it felt nice to re-watch them again.. such simpler times and yet they felt so complicated back in the days. I guess we never knew what comes later.

Give it a chance, it might catch on you.

The ones looking for the The Power of Love remix at the end, search for Minus - Neptun (Heading for Something) on YouTube ;(

The Switch (I) (2010)

Bad

The script is bad, the acting is even worse, all actors included, nothing new on a romantic comedy, maybe, on the contrary, this movie made me hate romantic comedy genre even more!

Sieranevada (2016)

Only for eastern europeans, I guess

I don't know why but I found this movie really good. It resembled to the the high school book I had to read in my time, Enigma Otiliei or like Morometii book & screen play. Like all Romanian movies, it has that drama-parody of being a post-communist member; like all the good post-revolution movies. This movie is from the same category. But! And there's a huge "But". This movie has a really tangled and well-structured story line. The characters are really complex. I loved the "detailed" small-talks that took place alongside the main story. Also, like many Romanian families, you have that huge abundance of relatives that you have to deal with. You have that "It's family!" saying that your mother told you every time you couldn't stand your cousin when you were little. Also, all the actors seem to play their parts really well. I've seen almost all the good Romanian movies and I can say that these are some hardcore actors. They fit so well with their characters and their performance is almost perfect. Yes, it has the downsides that all Romanian movies have: the static scenes and the bad sound quality. You have to have subtitle otherwise, most of the time, if you are Romanian, you won't understand a word. All of this being said, enjoy! It's just a pure South-Eastern Week-end story event!
