Regresie (2011)
Another great Romanian film
I was very impressed by the raw cinematography of this movie, which characterizes modern Romanian cinema. However as opposed to other Romanian movies, this one offers various twists of the plot which leave the viewer speechless and interested.
The stark contrast between the setting of Romania and the backdrop of Afghani Bollywood gives this movie a very worldly feel, as if all things are connected in life. The mental regression of Ciprian as he returns home, could be interpreted as a general cultural regression of the Romanian people. He drifts between worlds, one moment he is in his Romanian apartment with his wife, playing with a rubber ducky in the tub and the next he is living it up in his Bollywood style fantasy, where he dances along beautiful belly dancers. the plot takes a turn, when 2 CIA officers decide to visit him at home to see weather he is making all this up or not.
All in all I found this to be another great Romanian short film, which takes a satirical view at Romanian affairs in the Middle East.
