Great movie
18 March 2009
It's feels so good to see a so strong yet simple movie, about a serious theme. The actors (especially Anamaria Marinca I think) and the glimpse of how life was during the Ceausescu-regime, is so elegant done. Without any of the sentimental clichés and exaggerations you see in most of the Hollywood crap. Tribute the the actors and makers of this Rumanian movie. The characters feel so real. Haven't we met girls like Otilia (the strong and straight forward type) and Gabita (the weaker type who never tell the hole truth about things)). And Bebe, the cynical and creepy guy, who doesn't hesitate of taking advantage of the difficult situation the two young and beautiful girls are into. It's so seldom we see movies from this parts of the world, and I hope we can see more of this stuff in the future. It's so interesting to see how everyday life was in countries like Romania then - and how it is today!
