User Reviews

propaganda

a propaganda film. who looking for create reasonable explanation for the roots of Communist regime. predictable, using the same message about the force of popular masses and the same Manicheism. but, after decades and fall of dictatorship, interesting for few elements. like the performance of Ilarion Ciobanu, the use of masses, the image of Ovidius Square and few drops of atmosphere. the film has, today, a specific public. and its sins - ideological and artistic - are not different by many others films from the same period. for a contemporary public is not easy to understand . but the film reflects the desire to legitimate the conquer of power. with poor tools, sure, and being a compromise for Mircea Mureșanu. but, this was the spirit of time. and the political command.
