Afacerea Protar

Residue. Whatever you prefer to call material left behind.

Besides the manifest documentary value of footage made at a time when horse-drawn carriages and early (always black) cars easily intermingled on sett Bucharest streets, of a time when hats had principally a functional justification in society, at a time of pre-"democratic" social relationships, the Protar Affair enjoys the further benefit of having been constructed on a play by Mihail Sebastian
