'Prin Cenusa Imperiului' has the great merit of taking the viewer out of the quotidian and putting him into a very consistently created world. If you are looking for a way to escape from your daily routine, don't miss it. Beautifully directed, the movie has all the attributes to give the actors the opportunity to perform at their best.

ash of values
Vincentiu6 June 2012
a war story. survivors. refugees. few essential meetings. and great actors. a film inspired from Zaharia Stancu short story. about pain, search of sense in misty times, about roots of evil and price of survive, about a country as shadow and ruins of a empire. all in dark nuances, touching images. a movie like a ballad. heavy, strange, profound, harsh, cruel. with few drops of feelings as steps of rotten ladder. looks, silhouettes, way to ambiguous home. a thief and a young man. across Balkans. among ash of a fragile territory. the impressive aspect - silence. and gestures. the woman, the train. the escape. the bath. and the death of Diplomat. all - fragments of an old way to discover reality. all - words of a new world.
