The film 'Arsenie Boca, Life Beyond': A Passionate and Critical Interpretation in the Name of Freedom of Expression
25 September 2023
The film aligns with the post-revolutionary trends of hard-won freedom of expression and follows a directorial interpretation marked by Mr. Solomon's internal struggle, as he himself acknowledges in the film, manifesting criticism against a society that values myths. This director, self-styled as a modern-day Baudelaire, yearns to capture the stark duality akin to 'Flowers of Evil' and focuses exclusively on satirizing contemporary society, decisively addressing the challenge posed by those who profane and desacralize the most abject spiritual references of contemporary Romanian culture.

The lack of empathy, tendentious documentation, and the transformation of secondary figures into characters seemingly accepting the humiliation of scriptwriting turn the film into a manifestation of disdain towards those who find solace in faith as an anchor of goodness.

I conclude by paying tribute and offering advanced congratulations to the Great director Solon (intentional misspelling) for the moment of receiving the Bear at Berlin, with a quote from the esteemed CTP, reinterpreted by TNR in the context of Teambuilding: "The director confidently leads this histrionic and unrepeatable burlesque carnival, leaving the impression of a protracted rehearsal of lines until diamond-like perfection."
