Why can Romanians not make great cinema?


I have seen many Romanian films. I will continue to watch them. I am just concerned that I will never find a great one. Any Romanian film recommendations?

I am "to blind"? Is that an idiomatic expression?

I've just finished watching "Aurora", and I have seen "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu" a while ago. These are the only Romanian movies I have seen so far, and I loved them both a lot! I'll definitely check out the movies you mentioned. Thank you :)

The Death of Mr. Lazarescu is pretty decent. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days is also. Beyond the Hills is quite lovely. If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle is alright. Loverboy. Ion Popescu-Gopo's animated films. Most of this is Romanian New Wave, and you might have seen all of these already, so maybe you might prefer something older if you haven't seen that? Jean Georgescu, The Arizona Theft, stuff like that?

4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days is a masterpiece.
