memorable
8 July 2013 | by (Romania) – See all my reviews

at first sigh, a kind of Macbeth. in fact, only a work of Ioan Slavici adaptation , a remarkable cast and an extraordinary director. a memorable film about metamorphose of a good poor man. ambition, love, hate, desire of money and power. and Constantin Codrescu as best option for Giță role. after years, it remains one of great Romanian movies of all times. construction of atmosphere, the use of light, the realism of characters choices and actions, Geo Barton as impressive Lică Sămădău and the nuances of performance of Ioana Bulcă. images as ash pictures and the beauty of music. and, something more. a testimony about a period art and a testimony about nuanced adaptation.
