a gem

A great play. Amazing performances. And the politic in the right "translation". A show of nuances, keeping the mark of a great director - Sica Alexandrescu- , proposing the wise exploration of each character and the seductive trip across a love affaire with huge impact. Two real fine points - Marcel Anghelescu as Pristanda and Radu Beligan as Agamemnon Dandanache. A brilliant Catavencu gived by Ion Talianu .Today, in the shadow of the version of Liviu Ciulei from 1977, "O scrisoare pierduta" of Sica Alexandrescu remains, for understand the force of acting of its cast, the nuances of Caragiale text and the atmosphere of a lost - present time, a "must see".

admirable

memorable play. seductive movie.a film who explores each part of Caragiale play in a manner who give not only special sense of story but impose a new image about a period. sure, it is a political tool for a regime who desires impose its values. but the use of tool is different in the hands of admirable actors and, more important, as instrument for a great director as Sică Alexandrescu. it is Caragiale in pure essence and this remains the basic value of this delicate and subtle, convincing and seductive movie. Alexandru Giugaru creates a really memorable role with a mixture of innocence and humor.and Radu Beligan is perfect choice for Dandanache. an artistic hill, used in Romanian literature lessons and example of high science to rebirth Caragiale universe.
