the first word - it is a beautiful film. or a different one by the Romanians movies from the last decade.it reminds, in strange manner, by "Aferim". because it represents a biography in the middle of large slice of history. fragments of events, the sufferance, the love, the words and the spirit of youth in dialogues/monologues looking to discover the real essence of reality. and, sure, the not so bad job of Lucian Teodor Rus- he gives a character fragile, interesting, unreal, and the only problem is the difficulty to feel his sufferance out of physical scenes. for an admirer of Max Blecher universe, it is a decent film. a reasonable exploration of body and life and dreams, need of the other and end of illusion. about hospital air, Kafka influence, use of old rules of Romanian cinema for rebuild a world.sure, clichés and mannerism in large dose. the conclusion - the work of Max Blecher is not the best choice for adaptations. so, this is a decent try.
