stjopex This is a great story about society today depicted through a (bohemistic) father-(corporate) daughter relationship. There are couple of memorable scenes which made me bitter laugh out loud. Singing Whitney Houston and an absolute climax at the naked party are some of the best scenes ever. Movie has this Lost In Translation atmosphere where the city of Bucharest is both a medium through which characters interacte and a catalyzer of awkward situations. The film questions family relationships (father senses that life his daughter lives isn't fulfilling), corporate world, cultural and language differences, and above all, society as a whole ("...people are strange when you're a stranger..."). Fantastic acting, smart use of real life people which sometimes feels like Borat and brilliant writing. Thumbs up!

Hendrik Kleve First: I am very glad that ,finally, I read critics from many people who have really knowledge about what making a feature film is. The film is very boring, too long, uninteresting characters, for most people the dialogs are moreover not interesting for most viewers. For example: most people will not be interested in conversations about commercial activities of CEO's. There are some funny moments, yes..... Really a movie to forget as soon as possible. It made me glad that Cannes did not give any prize to this movie Its therefor even more a shame that there was given the Prize of the international filmcritic: do the members of this "club" have also an interest to promote this film? In Holland there are also some filmcritics who seem to have an interest to promote some bad films.....

saintetiennelee But it is hard going. Ultimately I'm glad I stayed with it but it tests your patience to the limit at times. It's not a 1 rating like some reviewers are saying. But it's certainly not a 10 either. It's far too long to enable it to get anywhere that kind of rating. There seems to be so many meaningless scenes that could have been trimmed. There are certain moments that for me were laugh out loud. Ines played by Sandra Huller is fantastic. It's made me want to see more of her work. Talk of an Hollywood remake on here. I can only assume it will be a very very different film. There is no way ever a scene for scene remake would make it out of Hollywood. Give the original a go first, it's different!!

katvyhh A complete waste of time and money - both of the viewers and the filmmakers. Stay away. Unbelievable, unnatural, pointless and untalented. Off-putting and extremely long. Get an editor!
