in this case

[Vincentiu · 31 December 2012]

important is acting. not the subject, not the level of dust. only the good actors - like tiny shadows, who does extraordinary roles. because, it is not a question of artistic values but only question of memories. Olga Tudorache,Birlic, Beligan, Giugaru, Puiu Călinescu. a splendid cast who gives their entire science to do a nice comedy. sure, the mark of regime is present but this film is a proof for the ability to create freedom like ball of crumbs. and to seduce public with little gestures and delicate grace. it is a good film. and its virtues are the honest work, the huge talent and inspired vision of director. result - it has not age. part of every time, it remains a form of wise resistance to dictatorship in its first years.

Boring!

For me, all the actors were in the service of a purely communist message: the fight against bureaucracy, that is, something impossible to eradicate, being the very creation of communist society. Unfortunately, the bureaucracy is very current in Romania, 31 years after the change of the communist dictatorship, with another type of dictatorship, the globalist dictatorship. The song "Wake up Romanians"(Desteapta-te romane) was composed in vain. Romania does not exist and never existed, it remains only a dream in the hearts of some like Mihai Viteazul and Vlad Tepes, both assassinated, like Kennedy and Lincoln in America. I wanted to see the film only because of Puiu Calinescu, whom I met personally, a genius of comedy, born at the wrong time, in the wrong place.

Insignificant role for the later great comic actor.
