📽 "Libertate" magnificently directed by Tudor Giurgiu and masterfully written by him together with Cecilia Stefanescu and Nap Toader, is a historical drama inspired by the great mystery behind the events of the dark days of December 1989 in Sibiu, where the fall of the communist regime leads to bloody confrontations between soldiers, policemen, civilian protesters and representatives of the secret police, all resulting in unprecedented chaos. This film really succeeds in transposing the audience in the time-space line, but more importantly in the minds of the protagonists, questioning more than ever the value of moral ethics and the power to keep yourself clean in a dystopia full of corruption.

🎞 A special characteristic of the story is the directorial and acting power to present a blurred overall picture, capable of connecting the narratives of different, doubtful perspectives, thus leading the audience to crucial moments where they even doubt the veracity of the protagonists...captive too in a world ruled by fear and lies. A psychological study of a fractured mindset imposed by the failed ideologies of a flawed system, but also an enchanting story designed to leave the audience with questions and personal analyses, quite recent events leaving us as spectators in the position of questioning our own inner revolution. A film that leaves its mark on the audience for a long time, truly a cinematic masterpiece, the opportunity to reflect and thus better understand the past and implicitly the future!
