Romanian film
I just saw this film last weekend at the Telluride film fest and I really enjoyed it. Not so much that its a great movie but its rare to see Romanian films so it was a treat to get the chance. Its an amusing look at how one small town is trying to decide if they were part of the revolution or not and the local tv station invites a couple of people to discuss the matter. The title refers to the time that Ceausescu left office and becomes very important in trying to figure out if there was a revolt in the town (anything before 12:08) or just a celebration (after 12:08). This is not a knee slapping comedy but it is quite funny in parts and the rest is just interesting. The start of the film shows the main characters at home and its facinating to see how others live, especially in countries we in the US don't see much of. The town in the film is the one the director is from so I'm sure he's a bit partial to it but it is really grim looking, though it is the winter time, and snowing. I would recommend this to anyone interested in seeing a film from an up and coming Romanian film industry.
