Heiduckenabenteuer (1) - Der Kopfpreis

same story about brave out law heroes. same cast and creation team. same scenes from old parts. and Florin Piersic as star of new link of series. a plot about moral confrontation, love and jewels. inspired music, fight scenes and not high quality drama but enough to be not very different by French movies from same genre. at first sigh, far to be remarkable. but important is its purpose - a film for everyone, a window, not very clear, for the Romanian public as alternative to propaganda. sure, it can be kitsch, childish and not coherent or realistic. but, after years, it remains , for many causes, a nice entertainment tool. maybe, for the status of seducer of Florin Piersic and for the voice of Maria Tănase. and that fact is important.

the temptation of a generous subject. the seductive Florin Piersic. fights, love, the simple hero and his the simple out law team. after a half of century, nostalgia is the first state for each Romanian viewer. because not exactly the story is the good part, maybe not the cast who remains legendary but the try of director and scriptwriter to give an alternative to the pressure of politic. naive, almost kitsch," Haiducii lui Șaptecai " could be an ancestor of "Aferim". the period is little different, the stories of love, hate and justice - far to be original, the language of characters - more soft - the cause must be the censorship - but enough for express the fury and the social differences who define Walachian realities in the firs decades of the XIX century. a film seductive for its old flavor. maybe, for its exoticism, too.
