Review of Asta e

Asta e (2001)
9/10
Real. Too real maybe....
22 April 2005
It's a documentary about Danube's delta on the less touristic part of it. A collective introspection of different people and their difficult life in a very rough county of nowadays Romania. People that live in an 18-th century underworld made of water and wildlife. People that struggle hard with their destinies in a land where the only activities for the inhabitants are fishing, growing pigs and drinking pure alcohol to combat the nervous breakdown. But it's easy to see in the end that there is a hope in the sad look of their eyes. Best scene: two guys trying to move a boat on a frozen channel.

Good cruel stuff for a rainy day ;-)

It's a 9/10 for me.
