What about Horatiu Malaele's The Silent Wedding (2008), Radu Mihaileanu's The Concert (2009), Marian Crisan's short Megatron (2009), Melissa de Raaf's First of All, Felicia (2009), Adrian Sitaru's Hooked (2008), Calin Netzer's Maria (2003) and Medal of Honor (2009) Constantin Popescu's Tales of a Golden Age (2009) and Portrait of the Fighter as a Young Man (2010)
NIKI SI FLO (2003) would be my pick for the best of the new Romanian cinema (though I'm dying to see more from Corneliu Porumboiu, starting with POLICE, ADJECTIVE).
Minimalist naturalism at its extreme.
What about Mitulescu's Trafic?
we could do with Marilena from P7 on auteurs.
Thanks, Raemon. I hope you get to see a few of these films. Hapii: I've added your suggestion.
WOW!!! I haven't heard about this..... It sounds interesting
I'd say: + Katalin Varga [2009]
Thanks, Kyríl. Radu Muntean's film isn't in the database but I made a point of listing it at the top. BOOGIE is another one from him that I like quite a bit. I'll look into the others you mentioned.
Great list. Possible suggestions: The Paper Will Be Blue (Radu Muntean), Bar de Zi ( Corina Radu), Examen (Titus Muntean), Cold Waves ( Alexandru Solomon), Love Sick ( Tudor Giurgiu)
Romanian New Wave? Never even knew about this. Thanks!
I haven't yet seen _Pe aripile vinului_/_Gone with the Wine_. It's a short, right?
Pe aripile Vinului (2002) by Corneliu Porumboiu. LOL!
so glad you didn't add "the rest is silence" kind of the merchant-ivory of romanian movies. eff that film.
Thanks for sharing, Kenji.
ah yes, i was very impressed with 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days and also enjoyed the featurette Marilena from P7
