The Balkan Life Seen After Communism

You haft to be an east-European man to understand this movie, it's about the simple life of a family living in a block. The movie has particularly no action, just simple facts and small details that brings a smile on your face if you understand them. Lucian Pintilie has done some great movies (ex. Balanta) but this is not the greatest.

The small budget of this movie makes it what it is, a Romanian film. The Romanian film lovers probably you will like this movie.

Niki is an old colonel of army, it's a man who had love only for the army, his daughter and his son in-law haft to go in U.S.A. to earn more money. Flo is the father of Andrei the son in law of Niki, let's say that he is the negative person in this movie, you will find him very unlike. If you want to know more you haft to see the movie.

Great!

Incredible movie! To me it seems very much like a Japanese garden; a garden which is said to be complete not when there is nothing to put in it, but when there is nothing to take out of it.

Here everything that does not completely follow the sense of the movie is eliminated. It leaves it in a pure state, not one overwhelming the viewer with symbols, but in a state that naturally gets us in the middle of the action. An action that puts us in the middle of a tedious life, marked by tragic events. An action that shows how insignificant life can be.

an excellent life movie

I can't understand why so many "movie lovers" (especially that they are from Romania) have such a negative perspective in front of this film. It was just a life movie and from my point of view I recognized a lot of people who are next to me every day in that characters. It's a great movie, believe me, but you have to see what's at the back of it. Of course, it's neither for that people who are Rambo lovers nor Spiderman :)). Maybe, for a foreigner means nothing, but for us who live in this country it represents more than pure reality.In conclusion, i think that is the best Romanian drama i saw after the revolution from 89.Lough and cry in the same time.

Pintilie at his best

"Nicky Ardelean - retired colonel" is perhaps one of the best movies that Pintilie had ever made. He brilliantly succeeds to dissect the Romanian realities with a pinching and malicious sense of humor. Perhaps not an easy movie, coming from an uneasy director, but a must see for movie lovers.

A history of romanian modern society in just two hours

When i first saw this film,I laughed at the end.Then I started thinking,and thinking,and thinking...And what I realised was that i was in front of a masterpiece,a masterpiece about life,about the confrontation between the new and the old in Romania.The slow alienation of Niki is the slow madness we all sink in when we see our world turned upside down.This "brave new world" we all live in is nothing but a shallow image without any values or guidelines.Flo is the perfect representant of this pseudointelectual society and at the end,I think everybody who sees the film considers Niki's action justified.It seems one can only resolve his problems through violence nowadays.
