I did not expect to like this movie as much as I did. It was quite a surprise. Especially since I just came from the airport with a taxi and had a long (and pleasant) conversation with the driver who had an interesting story about him transitioning from football player to olympic canoe and now taxi driver in Bucharest.
I was really impressed by Maria Popistasu and Alexandru Ion. The conversation between the two about capitalist sex had me in tears when he went a bit overboard and she reacted, the look on both their faces made me laugh so hard I woke up my kids.
A few minutes later, Lica trying to connect to his last client by telling him how he lost his love brings you again to tears, this time sad tears.
Yes the story, although sprinkled with funny moments, is a sad one and it is beautifully said and put on film.
My only grief is the movie was so short, I didn't want to let go of the characters so soon.
Congrats to the writers, director and cast!
