A documentary about the catastrophic floods that hit Romania in 1970.
A hybrid between documentary and “poetic” essay, this commissioned film of the present day paradoxically feels like an outdated family album. The most frequently used technique in this “art film” involves lingering shots—whether of a row of old women staring at the camera or a group of children. A good documentary showing the reality of Romania at the crack of the 1970s. Good documentary directed by a plethora of young directors, some of which who turned out to become legends, like Stere Gulea, Dan Pita, Mircea Veroiu, Pierre Bokor. All in all, great cinematic documentary, five popcorns and goes into the Movie Vault.
