If I want to whistle,I  whistle

Surely you have heard about this film that turned Romanian film culture (and not only!) Upside down. He has won numerous awards, both national and international. We do not offer many details because we let you discover on your own. But we warn you that it is a lot of drama, but also a story about love and youth.

Michael The Brave

Totally changing direction, we recommend a film about the troubled history of this small country, Romania. Historical films are among the best Romanian cinematographic productions, and Sergiu Nicolaescu, the general director of the film, a character whose name still resonates.

The film presents the famous attempt to unite the three provinces – Wallachia, Transylvania, and Moldavia. The film is an extraordinary projection, both for the subject itself, the special effects untouched by the influence of technology, but also for the famous actors who played – Florin Piersic and Sergiu Nicolaescu himself.

4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days

Another highly publicized film was 4 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days, especially due to the controversial subject it touched on. In addition to the numerous reviews it received, the film won the Palme d’Or Award, which is worth mentioning.

The action takes place during the communist regime where a young woman, helped only by her friend, tries to have an abortion. Today, this intervention is not a major one, but in those days, abortion was illegal.

The dark drama, as this work is described, follows not only the story of these girls and a friendship closely related to this event, but also the life you lived in those times overshadowed by the communist regime. You can watch such a film for your general culture, but also for the story.

The Dacians

Also in the category of historical films, we recommend the film Dacians, a film that presents the bloody history and the battle between the Dacians and the Romans. Before watching this film, you should know that Dacia was (for the most part) what Romania is today. As in the case of the film Mihai Viteazul, it also aims to show the adventures that the ancestors went through.

You have to admire the scenery, the costumes and the dramatic scenes captured very well in this film. Even if these movies are not very recent, we have chosen to recommend some of the best. We advise you to listen carefully to the actors’ remarks, trying to recognize the Romanian words you already know.
