Rautaciosul adolescent

Upon the story written by Nicolae Breban, the film is using a pseudo- psycho-analytical approach for a personal story of doctor Palaloga(a love story). Unlike the communist movies of the 70ies and 80ies, which were bringing the political system into characters' inner clashes, The Mischievous Adolescent is more in tune with French and Italian movies of that time. Characters say important things, do not wallow around shallow and petty conversation (for big dialogue see also Suta de lei, The Hundred lei). Music is also used brilliantly - an urban, rhythmic music to pace the story up and down. Camera movements and angles, the non- linear editing - just like La capătul liniei, At the end of the train tracks - are creating an urban environment for the urban story.
