răpciune la bête

after watching the rose seller, i will have to reconsider the plausibility and seriousness of this film, even though this one is a more marketable and digestible production.

Not a really great Romanian realism-thing, but I do like how the film portraying its reality while trying to achive its tragedy. Like most of Romanian New Wave thing, the film did gave a quite concrete problem. But I do like how the film didn't feel like to put its realism under the feet of humanity.
