California Dreamin'

Last night I saw what is probably the best Romanian film I have ever viewed, the late Cristian Nemescu's California Dreamin'.



Without exaggerating one bit, the director depicts the cruel, ass-biting-real-Romanian scenery that our country sadly has to offer its public. The characters are remarkably vivid and will strike many cords, the action is simple but I don't know how, in 155 minutes of film YOU DO NOT GET BORED ONE LITTLE BIT.
This is a film that makes you laugh, makes you sad, opens your eyes and creates a certain feeling...when you get out of that cinema, after seeing it, you'll walk differently for an hour or so, thinking about you, your country and the future...but you'll see all of them in a whole knew way...you will love that feeling.

Cristian Nemescu died last year in a car accident...I feel so sorry that he is dead, a man that can direct like he did deserved a lot more time of film-making on Earth.

The film is endless...but I don't think that it lacks or abounds in one single scene...this is a incredibly good film and it was also distinguished with "Un Certain Regard" at Cannes this year.
