Furia (2002)
One of the worst Romanian movies I've seen in the last few years
This is an unsuccessful imitation of Guy Ritchie's "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" and other movies in this genre. It starts on a dynamic tone but it looses pace and seems a lot longer than its 84 minutes running time. It's not a funny movie, nor does it address a serious issue. It's a gruesome black movie with no message. This movie is also hard to follow for non-Romanians and leaves an empty feeling to Romanians and international audience alike. It could be a good student movie, but it's nothing compared to movies like "Occident" and "Filantropica", which are good Romanian movies made in the last few years. Very disappointing...
Azucena (2005)
the worst Romanian movie I have seen
I have seen this movie at a preview in Los Angeles in july 2004. This movie is by far the worst Romanian film I have ever seen. It has no interesting idea, a lot of senseless nudity (some people might enjoy that) and it lacks a script-writer (the director is trying to pull a double stunt here). The actors are quite plain and the dialogue is completely sterile. Many story plans are started in the movie, but they turn out to be left hanging in the air, without any explanation, and they are irrelevant to the main "story" line.
The director has made some films during the communist era (before 1989). I think that his age turns him towards sex, vulgarity and irrelevant ideas.
