Trivia
Mark Cousins wrote about Fleeting Loves (1974): "Hardly ever seen in the English speaking world, this bold mood piece by female director Malvina Ursianu is striking for its ruminatory tracking shots. Dreamlike at times, and melancholic, it suggests that love is a losing game. A discovery." [Romanian Film Season in Edinburgh, 2015]

Quotes
