Întregalde

I have no problems with people disliking this film, what is the problem for me is when people just give a film a 1.

For me, for a film to get a 1, it would contain amateurish acting, a script that goes nowhere, poorly framed shots, bad editing, be poorly lit and characters you don't care about.

The ending of the film summarizes it. The director doesn't care about the characters and neither do you.

The problem with "Intregalde" is that it constantly compels us to make decisions while watching the people on the screen make their decisions, theirs and my are mostly not the same. This is not an easy task. You start to hate every one of the four main characters for a while until you stop because one of the others suddenly begins to get on your nerves too. This all is part of the story.

The other problem is that film critics seem to have a hard time to decribe the film. While I was waiting in the cinema for the film to start, I heard people sitting next to me discuss if this is going to be a horror movie or not! It is far from that though it plays with our fears. Our "heroes" are plain normal people and once the got stuck in every sense of the word, they begin to behave illogical. I really don't want to say too much about it because not to know what is going to happen is so important. Please check it out for yourself!

I rolled over my eyes several times. If you have an off-road car for some years, you are prepared for the mountain. The guy looks like he has experience but makes some mistakes like a novice who was in the mountains the first time with his off-road vehicle. It ruined the atmosphere.

Well-acted and intelligent, but viewing liable to cause abject depression. I am a mild-mannered person, however I found myself actually shouting at the screen for the old man in the story to shut up and go away. I was thankful, if irritated, that so much of the film was shot in impenetrable darkness. I am not sure that quality of darkness was intentional, but one watches a black screen for much of the seemingly endless 104 minutes. There must be other ways to convey such a story without alienating the viewer quite so fiercely. One felt bludgeoned by the argumentative and frustrated characters, who are largely unsympathetic, and should not be. This is a film, I believe, about backwardness and thwarted humanitarian intentions - a pertinent and timely issue. It's a pity to feel so indifferent and aggravated at the - slightly empty - end of such a film.

Waste of time and gas of not so bad actors...what a pity to waste resources of an already suffering terminal disease of the state owned system of producing ....kind of movies...sad!
