As for 432, I get the reluctance, maybe you should put it off for a while...or maybe you should see it now and face the demon.

I'm pretty sure that I watched more Romanian movies but I cannot recall their names right now.<br /><br />I have the DVD of 432 but I'm afraid of watching it. Espacially in these days. This month, our "ministry of health" said that the governmnet will try to make it difficult to get an abortion. they believe women use abortion as a brith control?! anyway, there were protests all over the country, so the government seems stepped back. and if I watch that movie right now, I can turn into a very mad and sad person I'm sure hahahamaledisanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075612053226499353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-85114357802755057542012-07-03T18:10:18.620+01:002012-07-03T18:10:18.620+01:00Oh my, I didn't know you're Romanian, that...Oh my, I didn't know you're Romanian, that's cool! I love how international the blogging community is. I'm originally from Indonesia and now resides in the States, so it's always nice to *meet* people from different nations. <br /><br />I have not seen a Romanian movie, but this one sounds intriguing. To be honest I don't watch too many films from my home country either.

I find it interesting how these films are far more successful outside of Romania, yet hardly get any attention in their home country. A complaint I've read a few of the directors make in interviews. But it makes sense after reading your perspective on it. Perhaps what makes these films so interesting to me, seeing these lives and times portrayed so realistically, is the exact reason why someone who has lived through them might not care to be reminded of it.<br /><br />Regarding this specific film, I loved the cinematography, it's the only Romanian film I've seen that I would classify as beautifully shot. But I wasn't as convinced by the acting and didn't see the intense chemistry between the two girls.<br /><br />Anyhow, I do hope you continue to review other Romanian films. I'm very interested in reading your perspective on them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00597866901901238462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759165361533454798.post-65025661327365497982012-07-02T22:22:15.667+01:002012-07-02T22:22:15.667+01:00The death of Mr Lazarescu was a good movie- someti...The death of Mr Lazarescu was a good movie- sometimes overly realistic, unfortunately- the things that happen there are frequent in our country. I will see 432 soon, I am curious, I think I won't be that objective, just because I am from Romania....or maybe I will love it even more than you!
