THE REST IS SILENCE
(RESTUL E TACERE)
2007, Nae Caranfil, Romania, 140 min.
With Marius Florea Vizante, Ovidiu Niculescu
“Like a breath of fresh air… an intelligent crowd-pleaser made with affection for its characters and era.”--Derek Elley, Variety
Lush with period detail, THE REST IS SILENCE is set in 1912 Bucharest, where a geeky failed actor breaks into the disreputable new field of making movies. With a patriotic epic in the offing, he fights off a French competitor and humors the film’s half-mad financial backer, who unwisely turns the tables on him. Based on a real story; even the excerpts from a landmark 1912 Romanian feature are real. In Romanian and French with English subtitles. 35mm print courtesy of the Romanian Cultural Institute. (BS)

THE WAY I SPENT THE END OF THE WORLD
(CUM MI-AM PETRECUT SFÂRSITUL LUMII)
2006, Catalin Mitulescu, Romania/France, 106 min.
With Dorotheea Petre, Timotei Duma
Graced by an impishly beautiful star (Petre of RYNA), this film seals Romania’s newly-minted reputation as a cinema hot-spot. Eva discovers how well sex and perfidy go together in the moment her boyfriend’s kiss sends a plaster bust of the dictator Ceausescu crashing and she ends up in reform school, where the promise of more and different kisses competes with the lure of the big wide world. In Romanian with English subtitles. Preview courtesy of Film Movement. 35mm. (BS)
