This is a newcomer fresh from Romania, to which we have become markedly familiar since [4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days] won the Palme d’Or in the 2007 Cannes Film Festival. The title says it all. On a rainy day, two guys arrive in a small village with film and a projector in their car. No one from the village comes to meet them. What happened? Who are they? The not knowing relays no small amount of interest at times through tension as in a horror movie, and at times through compassionate laughter. It presents a strong flavor unique to Romanian films, by appropriately balancing the realistic touch and the elements from a fable. In many aspects, the movie also seems connected to another Romanian movie, [Tales from the Golden Age], which is being introduced in the world Cinema section. They share the way in which they try to portray the generation of pain and suppression through big and small humor from a fixed distance. This humor is what definitively marks the difference between Romanian films and our films, though we have both lived through an era of dictatorship. Thus [4 Months…], which maintains its bitter realistic perspective without much humor, is an exception.
