Storyline
Featured review
This movie reminds me so much of communist-era morals and their stuck-up prudish highly censored movies. It also reminds me of the painful "transition" period, when, in the chaos of lack of authority, the country got robbed blindly.
But! It was 1990, and Romanians wanted freedom so badly, no one knew what to do with it.
So this movie portrays a bunch of confused sad clichéd characters, who read all the books Communists forbade, go wild in nature (to the point of committing felonies), speaking less than proper language, while the young actresses are occasionally showing skin, speaking of starting businesses (and being ridiculed by everyone else) - everyone knew only the big state companies can make something!
It also acknowledges one of the worse things we got out of communism. Because everyone earned similar salaries, bribes and barters were frequent. Bribes still are... This movie got a first chance to picture this.
Funniest thing the movie is made by the same "elite" scum who endorsed - and made pictures in - the communist era.
The script is almost non-existent, and it's good to watch for only one reason: history.
