The Last Day

A bad romanian movie, nothing new about that. But to be one of the worst among all the other bad movies... well that's something to go for. If that was the idea, congratulations mister Achim, you nailed it! Some would think that in a movie you would find some kind of a story or some character development or maybe the presentation of an idea or something that would catch the attention of the viewer. It's not the case here, this movie is special, it's about nothing. On top of the fact that the entire movie is just about 4 guys chatting about nothing in particular, the way they are doing this is totally unconvincing, boring and pointless. Really, I produce more interesting topics of discussion in 5 minutes than that obnoxious fat guy in the entire movie. Well anyway to wrap it up, please don't watch this movie if you don't have a masochistic pleasure of being bored to death.

It could have been as well a radio teleplay. Just 4 guys chatting and chatting about life, God, religion, etc. It is not clear why, who has done what, but it is very dramatic. Acting is good, that being the single reason why this movie is not a total disaster.

Just like other reviewers here, I tend to agree with them. There is absolutely nothing of quality to this movie. Ever since watching modern romanian movies I'm starting to seriously think I can actually direct better movies. I'm positive I can think of subjects more intriguing than a bunch of drunks around a table talking absolute nonsense. And what's with these long and boring scenes where the camera just sits recording absolutely nothing?! For minutes on end I'm looking at bushes in the wind, dogs eating from a table, characters staring into the void silently.... It feels like amateurs trying to copy Tarkovsky's style. But the problem is that filming such moments is not enough to create a great scene. It just feels like you are mimicking art instead of actually doing it. Please just try harder and think of something remotly original dear mister Achim.
