It's actually a co-production, but mostly Romanian. I could say is the first Romanian film made intelligently, for international distribution. Of course, it's not a masterpiece, by far, but, compared to the previous level of Romanian films, it's a great qualitative leap. Vlad Ivanov, the lead, is almost an expressionless actor. I can't say the same about Catrinel Marlon, she is very expressive, dressed and undressed. Talented and very beautiful, a face reminiscent of Penelope Cruz and Nastassja Kinski, Catrinel Marlon I hope she'll become a great actress. Very convincing Rodica Lazar in the role of the very annoying prosecutor. The rest of the cast is good, the movie is worth to be seen. Porumboiu surpasses himself from one film to another. I wish him to keep it that way, higher and higher.
