Operatiunea 'Monstrul'

This is a great movie that's my opinion and I like it that much because it replicates very well the atmosphere of a fishing day in the Delta together with a group of great actors and a very nice storyline.It's a really good comedy, one of the best Romanian comedy's I've seen it many times but I always forgot to see who composed the music / soundtrack so, does anybody know who composed the music or the soundtrack of this movie?I'm interested especially about the final title(generic).I searched desperately on the internet and I haven't found anything, not a single complete archive or description of this movie containing info about the soundtrack. If someone could help me I'd thank you very much

A couple of communist businessmen go fishing while their wives think they're on a business trip. They take along two of their friends and side-kicks and a somewhat unstable children book writer fella who's providing them with a means of transportation.

Once there, they set up a camp and make plans for catching the biggest fish around those waters, legendarily called `The Monster'. While the action drags on, the movie is great in depicting the mentality and attitudes of socially important people back in communist times.

The leading actor, Toma Caragiu, delivers exceptionally as the flamboyant leader of the group, self-righteous and passing judgement at every step, with great self-irony. A great performance by Octavian Cotescu, who depicts another influential socialist figure, bent onto bragging either about places he has visited abroad or the fabulous things he had acquired there. Marin Moraru is their inadvertedly funny right-hand man in the office and their delivery boy and messenger during this whole trip.

The movie is great and definitely delivers, yet hindered by its technical flaws.

I've seen this movie many times now, and I must tell you it is the best comedy movie ever made in Romania. Everything about it, is extraordinary. First of all is the acting; cast with THE GREAT Toma Caragiu; The are the jokes, intelligent and very funny; And I must say for a romanian movie this old it looks and sound great. See it!

This is one of my favorite movies! I am not tired yet of re-watching it. It definitely deserves to be promoted worldwide. The delight is continuous due to its subtle situation humor and the formidable performances from three of the greatest Romanian actors ever: Toma Caragiu, Octavian Cotescu and Marin Moraru. And all those meaningful unfinished phrases, and the pomp of the "specialist" fishermen, and their unspoken rivalry transferred from work in that leisure situation, and so on, and so on. Great script, great actors, low budget, a really great movie, which MUST be revived.

"Operatiunea Monstrul" is a very well structured film, with actors who can be named "monsters of cinematography", great dialogues. It's an example of how a low budget film may become a big success through its actors, scenography and talent of the director.

I think that this film has no problem if being compared with other productions from Hollywood because it looks and sounds very real, and is very closed to the heart of the target public: the romanian people.

What is very very interesting is that although the film is a parody of the communist system from that days in Romania, the censure did not react as I expect. Another words, bravo !
