A nice surprise

I happened to watch the movie inside the TIF film festival. I wasn't expecting much, cause it seems Romanian movies tend to follow a pattern. This was not the case, and it was such a nice surprise. A good script, with awesome dialogues and interactions. At the end of the movies the crew came to salute everyone and were opened to questions. The second surprise wasn't the fact that they were friendly and answered all the questions, but by the age of the crew and the "lack" of experience they said they have, even though by watching the film you would never experience is a issue. I haven't had the opportunity to watch it again, but if the opportunity appears for either of you I highly recommend you check it out. I did and made my day, Cheers

An out of left field surprise

"Comedy" is not a genre American arthouse audiences traditionally associate with Romanian cinema. But this out of left field sleeper is very much a comedy--and a perfectly scaled, beautifully executed and acted one. I was reminded of the early films of Jim Jarmusch (particularly "Stranger Than Paradise" and "Down by Law").

There was also a soupçon of Milos Forman's Czech New Wave movies like "The Fireman's Ball." I went into this expecting, well, not much of anything (I'd never heard of the director before, and knew that it had a 2016 copyright date which didn't inspire much confidence), and was pleasantly surprised to say the least.

Somebody should buy the remake rights. I could definitely picture an American version set in, say, Atlanta with three African-American leads as the lugheads who lose a winning lottery ticket.

I can say that it's the best Romanian comedy which I saw.

I can say that it's the best Romanian comedy which I saw. This movie is a real picture of living in Romania: Dacia cars, old ugly taverns and people who try to earn some money. I laughed 90% of movie. The story is not so original, because every country or culture has also this part of vision, but at least, this movie tries to give that special spirit of East. The way how they speak, cops and intertwined situations are worth to be watched. I heard how this movie was made, it's with small budget, and there aren't a lot of interesting cadres. It was filmed simply, but interesting part are locations and landscapes, roads and everything which shows a lot about Romania.
