I saw , in the "90 s, this film as a sort of exorcism. A parable becoming a form of hunt against the shadows of recent past. And it is that. But, after more than two decades,it remains only a cry. A large parable about power and dictatorship and need of freedom and slices of Kafkaiesque universe as parts of performances. Today, it is easy to say than it is not the most inspired films of Dan Pita. Chaotic, biyarre, almost improvisation under the pressure of angry. But it is just a definition of freedom in early "90 s. Grotesque, strange, chaotic. But useful as reflection of a state . Present too, after 29 years of freedom, in Romanian society. Seeing again, I discover it as a film for Romanians only. As a warning and a testimony. The beautiful performance of Valentin Popescu. The force of the craft for create his role from Stefan Iordache. And, sure, the lead character - Casa Poporului.
