Critics: Check Top Critics: Check Community: Check Friends: Check Favorites: N/A Posted on 7/11/08 at 3:26 PM "12:08 East of Bucharest" has two things in common with other Romanian movies I have seen in the last couple of years: 1. The favoring of long, static takes.(To highlight this, there is a running joke about handheld cameras.) 2. The movie takes place in a single day.(What is up with this, by the way?) This day is December 22, 2005, the 16th anniversary of the end of Communist rule in Romania. To commemorate this, Virgil Jderescu(Teodor Corban), a former textile engineer, is hosting a special program at his television station on the events of that day in the town he lives in. As guests, he has Tiberiu Manescu(Ion Sapdaru), an alcoholic university professor, and Emanoil Piscoci(Mircea Andreescu) who has just been drafted into being the neighborhood Santa Claus again. "12:08 East of Bucharest" is a deadpan comic movie that is about a television show that lies somewhere between bad public access television and Monty Python. On the serious side, the movie is also a meditation on the role of history in everyday lives. The world in general may change but life goes on. And it is clear that nothing much has improved for these characters in the past sixteen years. 0 Comments \| Post a Comment \| Send This \| Report Abuse
