Oh look, another romanian epic nobody saw...why? Because there is no marketing done for these films...especially unfortunate in this case because this one is actually interesting and beautiful.
It has the ever-present story set in communism but viewed progressivly. From a theatrical director, its setting is very Dogville-like...the subject I find is very fluid and not set in stone, anti-communist to the bone, anti-"romanian people" - but a good characterisation. Absurdist, filled with symbolism and theatre metaphors, it has some good points along the way...points that can be discussed to no end.
It is a bit too long and you feel it going somewhere with no direction at times, but it is something that I would recommend.
