a film who preserves each line of director theatrical experience. grotesque, supra-realism, crumbs of kitsch, fragility of characters, strange balls of joy. result - an experience. because the images, the music and acting gives form to a large show of broken shadows and explosions of imagination. and it is not really a surprise. Romania is a door to Balkans. it can be , in fact, a brick of this zone. Romania is, in same measure, the motherland of Anton Pann, Tristan Tzara, Urmuz,Ion Barbu, Eugene Ionesco, Cioran and Caragiale ( Ion Luca and Mateiu ). this film reflects this fact. and the manner is seductive, naive and convincing. Palilula and doctor Seraphim as last its sign, the veil of myth and never ending leisure, the air of theater and the characters - shadows of spirits, the fall, each is piece of an universe who reflects the present of a country at middle of all temptations.
