Review

  • First of all, the director, Cristi Puiu, must really learn that we're living in the 21st century, and there are some useful inventions that he could use, like microphones, camera tripods & such. The way it's made, this film could easily be mistaken for an amateur home video... The script is awful, nothing really happens in the entire movie, bad image, bad sound, bad directing. This movie seems to be part of the latest trend in Romanian movies that won some consolation prizes at Cannes film festival - probably out of pity, or there might be some political reason for this. It's beyond imagination how movies that have no story-line, worst image, worst sound like this one, or others in the same category ("4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days", "death of mr. lazarescu") could be appreciated as art.
