Crulic - The Path to Beyond

a poor man. his story. gray. basic. common.nothing special. an ordinary Romanian. a way to Poland. and lines of hell.scapegoat for a theft. ambiguous evidences Kafkaesque justice. blind doctors. deaf consul. and hunger strike as only weapon. from Krakow cell to death. a tragedy like many others. tragedy of a crumb-person isolated by the indifference. story of Claudiu Crulic. 32 years. from Central Europe. victim. obstacle for a Foreign Minister, subject of news and axis for few late investigations. a man like a fly or spider or chicken. without price, without importance. only a shadows. the movie is not a pledge, not a documentary. it is a tale. common. gray. subtle. with slices of black humor. testimony about passing of a man in life. the verdict can be given only by the public. a isolated case ? an accident ? a murder ? a fact ? must see it ! for its virtue of good film. for its virtue of mirror.

one of many stories from East. same subject, same evolution. the bitter sadness, the angry and the people as parts of a social machine. Crulic is, not doubt, a masterpiece. for its precise diagnosis of a large phenomenon. for the impeccable art. for the wise manner to ignore comfortable clichés. for the cold atmosphere. for the remind of truth. for the science to give to it the right form. a film about a man. like too many others in same situation. a man in a foreign country. accused in arbitrary way. his revolt. his fight. bureaucracy. and the end who puts all in an ice light. Crulic is one of films who must be rediscover time by time. for understand the other. for understand again, in better manner, the life. for not ignore the insignificant people. and, maybe, for hope.

I've seen the movie at Istanbul Film Festival. Excellent artwork, pathetic story. Roman workers problematic is familiar for us. We can understand the story very well. In this story you can easily feel Roman workers situation. Artwork is very impressive and has different style. This story reminded me "Waltz with Bashir" Very impressive story about human rights. Director told a powerful story thanks to animation. With real scenes it can be difficult to catch this power. I have seen the movie in a big movie hall. After the movie audience applauded the movie and director. We look forward seeing the team's new animations and artworks. Congratulations.!!!
