Anul Nou care n-a fost

This film is a triumph of Romanian cinema, showcasing a generation of actors who have reached artistic maturity. The film portrays the mood leading up to the 1989 revolution, but without exaggeration, because reality itself was absurd. The way the film manages to capture both the everyday scenes from before 1989 and the emotional state of the people, along with the verbal patterns used at the time, makes the viewer relive (or experience for the first time) the lives of people in 1989. By the end of the film, no one from the audience could get up from their seat! Moving and uplifting, a true work of art! A big "bravo" to the director, the actors, the cinematography, the script and the soundtrack!
