Enescu, Skinned Alive

I honestly think Elenescu Skinned Alive was terrible and didn't deserve any of the awards it got. I went in with high expectations because of all the hype, but it felt like a complete waste of time. The pacing was painfully slow, and the plot, if you can even call it that, was confusing and pretentious for no good reason. The characters were flat, and it seemed like the director was trying too hard to be "artistic" rather than telling a story that actually made sense. Half the time, I found myself checking the time, wondering when it would finally be over.

The cinematography was dark and shaky in a way that felt forced, and the dialogue was either too quiet to hear or so strange it was hard not to cringe. I didn't feel connected to any of the characters, and the film's attempts to shock the audience felt cheap rather than meaningful. I genuinely cannot understand how this film managed to win awards when it didn't deliver on basic storytelling, emotional connection, or even visual coherence.

Honestly, the best part of the entire experience was the comfortable seats I was sitting in, which at least made it bearable to sit through the mess unfolding on the screen. Other than that, I would not recommend this film to anyone, unless you're looking for an example of how a movie can fail while still pretending to be dee.

The director of movie brilliantly illustrates the love story between George Enescu, a huge composer of last century, and controversial and passionate princess, Maruca Cantacuzino ,born in Romania .The kindness of this great composer and his emotional state increase the princess confidence that they pass together with "magna cum laude" over love pressures and their efforts will eventually turn into achievements, scattered on their life as well precious ring mount of diamond . Enescu seems to be like a fisherman in the boat who paddles up on the smooth or rough sea. It says that a big slice of "success cake"" of love is on each plate of partners, although. The main characters perform into glamorous ways, all the loose ends are finally tie up in their love.

Exceptional! I'm not sure if I dare make such a comparison, but it felt to me very much like Enescu's Oedipe-birth, rise, deception in place of triumph, downfall, and death. Sublime! It tells the story of Enescu's life, portraying him not just as a genius, but as a man-with all his struggles and depth-framing his tumultuous relationship with Maruca within the arc of his career. I learned so much about Enescu's life, and I really appreciate the message it conveys: to cherish our cultural values, not just by remembering great names from the past, but by truly understanding their journey, their sacrifices, and the legacy they left behind. It's a powerful reminder of how important it is to honor and preserve the richness of our heritage. I'm truly glad Romanian films are being made on such meaningful themes.

I had the chance to see this movie in two different festivals that I attended, in Monacco and Los Angeles, and I'm in awe of the creative team that made it. No wonder it won so many awards. I did not know who Enescu was, but I was completely captivated by the story. Such a great way to discover brilliant musicians and inspiring love stories! The actors are well picked, costumes are great and the music is simply amazing. Behind all this can be nothing but a great director. I highly recommend this skillfully crafted movie to all film and classical music lovers. In a world full of noise and violence, it is comforting to find films as beautiful and moving as this one.

A bouquet of joy, emotional moments, and artistic sense - this is how I would describe this movie, which is, in fact, an experience. A brilliant blend of sensibility, spirit, wounded memories, and love, that offers the audience a key to Enescu's genius, accompanied by lovely visual shots and the era's gracious perfume.

Congratulations to the entire team for the incredible work, passion, creativity, and dedication!

The world should experience the magic you've created, especially the younger generation!

I still can hear "Poema Româna" playing in my mind...and in my soul...

It felt like poetry...
