Too much of everything
the audience applauded
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
"fin de siecle" atmosphere. love story and sentimental choices. a drama who preserves the spirit of lost period by a great director. it is not easy to define. first - for seduction of Mitteleuropa flavor. than for decent acting and for impression of a romanticism who has charm of old gems. spirit of a time, reflected in precise-delicate manner. that is the basic ingredient of this film. splendid images, drops from The Lady of the Camillas, fragile balance between nuances, beautiful cinematography and a kind of magic of old gold frame. film of memories, it is seductive and strange in same measure. a movie by Radu Gabrea. who reflects more a state of soul than colors of a novel.
