Hartia va fi albastra (2006)

"Yeah, another movie about the '89 Revolution, what else is there left to say?" i've been told. Actually there is. And it's not a matter of historical facts but of human emotions, of the impact the revolution, as well as the communist era had on people. It's abou the confusion, the hope, the uncertainty and the enthusiasm of those days. I simply loved it, especially the dialogue which, in my opinion used to be one of the greatest drawbacks of Romanian films. Unlike other similar movies (where characters talked either too formally or too slangy), the dialogue in this movie is very realistic. One small comment on the set design: the shabbiness of Dr. Andronescu's house is not at all plausible, even (or better, especially) for communist Romania.
