Wonderful character development!
Highly Overrated But Still Good
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
"fin de siecle" atmosphere. love story and sentimental choices. a drama who preserves the spirit of lost period by a great director. it is not easy to define. first - for seduction of Mitteleuropa flavor. than for decent acting and for impression of a romanticism who has charm of old gems. spirit of a time, reflected in precise-delicate manner. that is the basic ingredient of this film. splendid images, drops from The Lady of the Camillas, fragile balance between nuances, beautiful cinematography and a kind of magic of old gold frame. film of memories, it is seductive and strange in same measure. a movie by Radu Gabrea. who reflects more a state of soul than colors of a novel.
