It needs see this film in the context of period. its exagerations, sentimentalism, romanticism, idealisation of the last Romantic poet. because, more than an artistic film, it represents a manifesto. Mihai Eminescu of Loteanu is symbol of patriotic feelings of Basarabians in theirs national struggle against Soviet ocupation. and that is not only an example but part of a large fresco of symbols and demonstration about the common links with Romania. the cultural crusade is the first. and it is reflected by the ages of Eminescu, small events defining him, poetries, friendship, work at Timpul newspaper and love story. that is the virtue and the week part of film. not the only for Loteanu filmography. but with so precise target than it becomes not surprising. so, "Luceafarul".
