...can you hear the silence ?, 23 mars 2008

Auteur : taifunu de Roumanie

just saw the movie. In a cinema theater. Sunday morning, only four people in the audience, myself included.

I'm blown away.

here, normally, I would have added only another sentence to this post - but the IMDb rules state a post must have a minimum 10 lines.

so I might write that this is not just a movie. It's a tribute to all movie makers, of all times. It's a tribute to all the people passionate enough with an idea to be able to follow it until the very end. A tribute to those few people that do not sell their soul, or their ideals. In a way, one might read it as Caranfil's manifesto.

but ignore all the above. Ignore all the comments. Just go see the movie. It speaks for itself better than anybody ever could.

the rest is silence.

Caranfil strikes again..., 8 mars 2008

Auteur : marius_em de Iasi, Roumanie

È pericoloso sporgersi, Asphalt Tango, Filantropica... The ingredient are the same: lots of humor on a tragic background. 'Restul e tacere' has the same Caranfil style, and more... Without a doubt, his best work. It's a story about the making of the first Romanian movie in 1911, the age when Bucharest was still 'little Paris', and the national identity feelings were probably at the highest level of all times. Although as a Romanian i felt really close to this movie, i must say there is no over - nationalist propaganda, just a simple decent story with a little bit of history as background, telling us how talent met with business to do the "War of independence" film. The humor is great, the story is a must know, the acting is extraordinary, especially the two main characters (Leon Negrea played by Ovidiu Niculescu and Grigore Ursache played by Marius Florea Vizante), the music is right on cue, the 'little Paris' atmosphere is greatly recreated and the rest is silence...

A much better view, 6 mars 2008

Auteur : Raul G de Roumanie

The latest hits of Romanian cinematography are all movies which show Romania in gray tones. So far they've been successful and i really appreciate those movies but it's about time that a director does the normal thing, to change the pace of Romanian films a little. Through the magic of Nae Caramfil and the help of a consistent budget, we have a film good enough to compare with Hollywood productions and who still keeps his artistic integrity and doesn't fall into commercialism.

The script is brilliant and fearless, with cleaver lines and a language to suit the depicted times.

Marius Vizante has a great performance as a frustrated but proud young director, and Ovidiu Niculescu's unlikely (Niculescu having neither the age, neither the stature of Leon Negrescu) cast in the role of Leon proved to be a really good choice.

I sincerely believe that this movie will be a milestone in Romanian cinematography and i hope that many as good as this one will follow.

brilliant!, 16 mars 2008

Auteur : jazzzyro de Bucharest, Roumanie

An absolute masterpiece of Romanian cinematography and a solid quality picture. Its romantic and humorous atmosphere, its gorgeous reconstruction of Romanian belle epoque is fantastic (since that time, beginning of XX century, Bucharest was named 'Little Paris', due to many resemblances to the original city), the acting is impeccable and scenario is well-paced, humorous and inventive. The story is the making off of the making off of the Independence War that Romania, along with Russia took part against Otoman Empire in period 1877 - 1878. A must see picture, remarkable for the new spirit in Romanian cinematography.

first post-revolutionary fairy tale, 13 janvier 2009

Auteur : bido77 de Luxembourg

For 20 years I have been waiting for a Romanian movie that I could actually enjoy. Don't get me wrong, I am not about to comment from an advised point of view the post-revolutionary Romanian cinematography - I am sure it is of great value, but I have simple tastes - I like emotions and I like beauty wherever I can find it. Seeing this movie I was moved to tears by its simple yet very clever story, nice decent humor and lovely settings. And hearing again my lovely language - I cannot tell you what it felt like - no swearing, no ugly words, just pure poetry. THANK YOU. This last part of my message is addressed to the administrator of the IMDb site. I must say I am not particularly pleased with this rule that states that our comments must be at least 10 rows long. Comments should be as lengthy as they must be, I see no reason why I should invent things just to get published.

Back to the glory days?, 10 mars 2008

Auteur : Kimi Raikkonen (natzy_future) de Roumanie

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

After 5 years of patience we have another film made by Nae Caranfil. In my opinion by far the best film director Romania has in this moment. If Filantropica represented a renascence for the Romanian Cinema now we know it was not an exception. I don't know if it is his strategy or simply the guys from the commission simply didn't want to finance him all these years, lets not forget that this films scenario was written like 20 years ago and only in 2007 it became reality. I have to admit that we are sick of seeing films about the "Golden Era" or directly made in the communist times. I don't mean 4,3 and 2 at all, that's a great film made by a great director but I want to see more films made about the great times of our country if not the inter-war period this story is placed perfectly before the First War or the Great War as they called it during and after it. And I don't mean maybe all of us all, I mean us, the young…the ones that heard all those criminal stories from our parents, of course its OK to see it on screen but where are those glory days of our Romanian Kingdom? Just seeing images that bring back to those times makes you feel different then seeing a secret service agent following you at night coming from a party a bit drunk and makes you see something else then the gray boxes and the House of People. The young Romanians need to take those times as an example. Of course it's a comedy after all, but all we know is how Romanians were driving all Dacia 1310 ( proudly ) hailing the "leader" and now after 1989 showing stories about the life then from another point of view, an objective one. Back to the film, the scene with the King is a very nice one, if all communist showed was the Morometii when the peasants were laughing at the royals ( romance by Marin Preda clearly influenced by the communists ) now we can actually see people calling him "Sir", I was really surprised by that scene ( probably at the Cotroceni Palace ) maybe just because of rarity of such scenes with important leaders of our past. Even though its still a comedy it tries to represent a very important part of our history. The war for Independence against the Otoman Empire strongly supported by a leader ( Carol I ) witch wasn't even Romanian, he was part of the Royal European family but dedicated his life to this country like nobody else of Romanian blood did in the last century. The young director who wants to do something new rather then theater is fighting his father who was a well know theater director who didn't accept his son to do "dirty business". It also has a very important word to say with our relation with Western Europe, we wanted to be in the same step with them, we didn't want to completely ignore what happens in Paris and the thing the young gun ( only 19 ) starts something like this shows the new generation is responsible even now, after 1989, to bring this country back to its glory days.

Movie in movie, 7 juillet 2008

Auteur : simonasidorin de Roumanie

Well first of all I like the title : it is very suggestive , very theatrical . This movie is a needed change of rhythm in the Romanian cinema because it is depicting an episode of pioneering cinema in Romania . The year is 1912 but INDEPENDENCE WAR do not forget : is not the very first Romanian movie , maybe it is the first historical movie , even from the historical point of view the real UNION came in 1918 with Basarabia and Transilvania joining Valahia and Moldova ...but we are getting too much into national history .That era depicted in film is when Bucharest was opening more to European influences and especially french culture , it later became LITTLE Paris and it was not an exaggeration at all. French was spoken by aristocrats , intellectuals , artists and even common people. Of course the movie is got a lot of comic moments , we are Romanians N'EST CE PAS ? Do not forget also that haughty people they despised cinema , they preferred theater . I know they we're right but , let's get over it . Cinema was incredible cheap , even in those days , it was a sort of entertainment for low social classes , for the mob . But of course in time people they changed up minds , it is to admire the passion the people involved in this project they sacrifice to see their dream come true . Also it is showing us how VOLATILE and transient the films are ......they burn so easily .I enjoyed watching this movie , and is a nice feeling to know that they are still people who cares about CINEMA .

Another Romanina slasher movie (contains spoilers), 31 janvier 2009

Auteur : cristi_lala de Roumanie

*** Ce commentaire peut contenir des spoilers ***

I mean slasher cause after you see it, you reach for a razor blade to slash your wrist. When all Hollywood movies have a happy ending, Romanian movies have a "kill-myself" ending, haven't seen a single Romanian movie made after '89 that had a happy ending, oh well .. maybe "Asphalt Tango" had a quasi-happy ending.

Back on topic, Nae Caranfil manages to capture the 1911 Bucharest atmosphere very accurate. An old civilized world, without vulgar language and gratuitous violence, a time when honor and social statute where extremely important, a time when falling in disgrace of a member took the whole family down with it. Also a world on the dawn of a new era, when corruption started to spread and con-artists began to thrived.

What strikes me is that this is not a movie about making a movie, but a love story that takes place while making a movie. Its that kind of movie that makes you think about it days after you see it ! Is Emilia a lead character ? No ! Did she influenced dramatically the lives of the male lead characters ? Definitely yes ! Director Nae Caranfil manages to tell a story within a story which in my opinion this makes hes best movie, one of the best Romanian movies in fact.

One minor criticism : German soldiers, which actually where not even Germans as the caption said, they where in fact Austria-Hungarian soldiers, their uniforms looked like Wehrmacht World War II uniforms, especially the combat helmets. Austria-Hungarian helmets had a small sharp vertical spike on top of the helmet. Im not a history buff to dwell on that too much.

**** SPOILER INCOMING ****

Emilia character, played masterfully by Mirela Zeta, at first looks like its not fully developed as a character, her story has plot holes and loose ends but thats intentional, how can you portray a female character accurate when shes's lying as often as she breathes. She's not a peasant girl that lives in the city as she said in the harvest dance scene. At that time no peasant girl would dare leaving to the city and returning as she pleased without her father beating her senseless. I suspect she was a stowaway among the extras trying to get noticed as an actress by the young director or anyone in the movie industry by a matter of fact. She lies and screws everyone and with everyone that can help her achieve her goal: to become and actress. And she did became an actress, in a theater bought by Leon character for her, in a time where he dint afford that eccentricity. She has a son, who is the father ? Plot hole ? No, it doesn't matter whos the father, mostly because even she doesn't know.

Five years passes and the young director Grigore still didn't forget her. He founds a portrait of her, he takes it and he keeps it tight in hes arms like in an embrace. Definitely he loved her more than he shows throughout the whole movie, which fits very well in that age of time, when men didn't showed so transparently how they felt. He loves and hates her at the same time, which can be seen in the scene near the end when he throws a glass of water on her painting in a dual gesture: he threw a glass of water on her face first time she met her and he also threw a glass of water in her face last time he saw her, marking the beginning and the end.

Which leads to the final scene: Grigore character doesn't lie in court because Leon actions harmed her ! He lies to punish Leon because he had her.

Well done Mr. Caranfil ! Bravo !

Small fragment of a huge mirror, 28 octobre 2008
Auteur : Vincentiu de Roumanie

Story of a movie. Story of a Romanian society and the image of movie-adventure. A film about small things, warm, nostalgic, like a spring day.A comedy but, in same time, description of a fight. Old fashion atmosphere and subjective view. And large circles of collective memory. A film about present with words of past.Simple, naive and natural, classic and childish, cruel analysis of a victory and scene of soft discover of national modernity's roots. Ioana Bulca in a impressive come-back. Marius Florea Vizante as brilliant pioneer. And the ash of a lost time. A film about the deep images of soul. Piece of self-definition. A sort of game out of gray reality. A movie. About sense of art, fight, success, fame and truth. Small fragment of a huge mirror.

One of the greatest romanian movie in the last 20 years., 6 décembre 2008

Auteur : Stef de Roumanie

First time when i heard about this movie i thought it's gotta be another sad romanian movie with a low budget, but i was wrong! After i saw it, all i can say it's that this movie is one of the greatest romanian movie made in last 20 maybe 30 years. It has great humor, the acting it's very well done and the story-board it's amazing. I didn't knew that romanians are the first who made a long movie.

Anyway, from all the movies that i saw this year "Restul e tacere" it's in top 5 of my favorite movies.

After i saw it, i decide to buy it! If you want to see it, don't pirate it, buy it!
