What period is the film set int?


Is it contemporary Romania? If so, then how come the computers (especially the monitors) used by the police officers in their offices are so old?

reply

It's supposed to be contemporary Romania but it's all BS. Nobody uses computers that old anymore and the Police Stations don't look like that. The director thought it would be "cool" to make things look a lot worse than they are when the plot is missing, the dialogue is missing, the whole sense is missing and the acting sucks - that's what the Romanian film has been about in the last 20 years.

lol, poor quendino. (this was actually a great film)

btw, ts, one hint for this being set in "contemporary" times were the new cars, like a Seat.

edit: and what about Anca watching a video on the internet! (YouTube?!)

Yeah, poor me! Sorry for not praising a film that 10% of the people I talked to about said it's good, but no one, literally no one, told me WHY - when plenty of times i gave all the reasons why i think it's stupid . Sorry for not worshiping such a lousy excuse for a movie after seeing Cidade de Deus for instance - what this "film" could have been and totally missed.
