I saw this movie on the recommendation of a friend and I'll have to say that it was a good choice. He comes from Romania and he said this pretty much sums up the Romanian experience before the fall of the Commies. Now after seeing this movie, I have a vague idea of where he is coming from. That being said, my review of the movie:
I really enjoyed this movie. It had a dark humor that you don't find too much anymore. It portrayed a society that as an American I find it hard to understand. I can't imagine life where you fall under surveillance. I also can't imagine a society where you can't get your medical needs taken care of. This movie was an excellent character study at any rate. I would recommend it to non-Romanians.
