trip between real and fantastic, great music by Liviu Vasilache and inspired adaptation of I.L. Caragiale work, it is a kind of rare piece for a genre who seduce always. love story and magic story, subtle exploration of levels of text, cruel and precise, absurd and deep Balcanic, in skin of fairy tale and impressive for the splendid performance of Dana Dogaru, for the silent force of Gina Patrichi job, touching images and delicate tragedy, it has not only virtues of a classic Romanian text but the science to explore and expose in right manner many ingredients of a civilization. a film who could have the gift to be useful and beautiful travel in past. and to remember the name of a talented director.
