One man's need of love creates a drama...in love, though
2 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Some guy is sick of his shitty life and of his working with pigs, and decides to get a grip in actual "living". He scams a girl, then sends his family to hell altogether with their "care"; he goes to army, but can not withstand the fact that his GF is about to marry some lousy bastard. Eventually he goes to a "disciplinary army unit" and then to prison.He steals a tank, escape from prison, even kills the poor bastard. He is now a fugitive, and every piece of his life-puzzle is falling apart. In the end he still does damage, having a negotiator getting shot by the police and army forces. The sad but true facts of reality, purely Romanian reality.No SFX, no funky stuff. Plain truth. Too bad that very few non-Romanian can understand the feeling. See the movie for 2-3 times to get its real meaning.Try and watch Pintilie's other movies. Try Reconstituirea. Or other great Romanian movies as "Balanta", "Patul Conjugal" or "Filantropica".
