Quote:
The level of disinterest in personal affairs has become so cynical in Bucharest, that people cheer even an inept army and police manhunt. Meanwhile, Mitu and Elena get to know each other in the course of a vodka drinking contest and discover that they are both dissatisfied with the status quo. Mitu is about to begin military service and Elena is to be married to a man she does not love. They decide they are meant for each other and plan on a different future, one that is on a collision course with the authorities, and start a mad affair.

FILMARE/FILMAGE or SHOOTING (A LUCIAN PINTILIE PORTRAIT)
– Rare intimate documentary about Romanian filmmaker Lucian Pintilie – the director of (arguably) the best Romanian movie ever, “The Re-enactement” (1970) – shooting his first film after the 1989 Revolution, “The Oak” (1992), following a long period of work in exile. The soundtrack of the documentary contrapuntally uses audio fragments from his previous body of work (film and opera).

– “…being not just a “making of” but more than that. Like its title suggests – “a film in the film”- it was an opportunity for the birth of another creation (…) The crew, made up practically of one member – Gabriel Kosuth – did a forceful documentary about this. For weeks and weeks he recorded with such a sensibility Pintilie’s directorial work – his relationship with the actors and the painful, agonizing, passionate team work – that the spectator gets initiated almost unconsciously into the mystery of his creation.” – DUNA TV INTERNATIONAL review (15.12. 2002)

Quote:
In 1988, Nela, a young schoolteacher, tries to carry out the will of her late father, an officer of the Securitate (Ceausescu’s secret police) who wants his body to be used for medical research. She decides to leave Bucharest to teach in a small provincial town, where she meets Mitica, a doctor at the hospital who is obsessed with saving the life of a Christlike patient whom the authorities wish to let die. They both share an odd sense of humor and see themselves as kindred spirits, but their relationship produces less than welcome results. The Oak is a vivid look at Romania before Ceausescu’s downfall.

Quote:
Based on a theatrical text by Romanian writer Ion Luca Caragiale (1852-1912), who was a bitter and funny witness of the turn-of-the-20th-century Romanian bourgeois mores, Carnival Scenes manages to preserve and further enhance the slightly hysteric atmosphere of his plays. Pintilie creates a strange combination of carnival scenes which is brought to the screen as a burlesque, fast-paced, screwball comedy with a meditative undertone. This film was banned in Romania for a decade until the death of Ceausescu in 1989 and was only released after the 1989 revolution.

A very black comedy (and virtually unknown in the U.S.), Niki and Flo is about ill-suited neighbors united by marriage. Angela and her husband have decided to leave Romania for a better life in the United States. Niki, Angela’s father, who is also a former colonel in the Romanian army, is torn between his wish to see his daughter happy and his desire to have her close by; meanwhile Flo, the father of Niki’s son-in-law and a domestic tyrant of sorts, slowly exerts his control over Niki. Courtesy of Filmex Romania. Based on a screen play by Cristi Puiu.

The post Lucian Pintilie – Un été inoubliable AKA An Unforgettable Summer (1994) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Quote:
It is the end of the Romanian war against the Soviet Union (but not the end of the WWII), as Germany and Romania are allies, but in a few weeks they will be enemies. Two German officers stop for a lunch with a group of Romanian officers and as the story develops, a pair of rare postage stamps are acquired in very different occasions, which underlines the differences between the group of officers. This deceptively simply short film has many complex ramifications about history, honor, about how material value translates in life and survival. Director Pintilie works beautifully with his actors, especially Victor Rebengiuc (a preferred actor of Pintilie) and his use of visual space in a small room is both inspired and effective.
