Amintiri din copilarie

an oasis of memories. for the reader of book. for the adult looking crumbs of childhood. for discover one of the early works of Elisabeta Bostan. or for the best interpreter of Ion Creangă, for Eliza Petrăchescu and Zoe Stanca as aunts of lead character and delicate Smaranda of Corina Constantinescu . not less, for Ion Bocancea who gives a splendid Nică,entirely seductive, adorable and lovingly. the cultural references, the rhythm of the life of Moldavian village from the XIX century are the good points of a film who remains modest but useful for a public who preserve the state of lost ages as precious gift. so, not the artistic virtues are the axis of interest but the simplicity who defines a period and a manner to live

I really enjoyed watching this movie because it represents real facts from Ion Creanga's past. He is also our guider in this movie, making us know better the place, time and other elements of this story. You can learn a lot from this movie, for example life in Romanian villages, including human behavior, education and entertainment in these places, which were very poor at those times. The movie is inspired from the homonym book. The image quality isn't very good, but it's clear enough that you can well watch the movie. I am sure you will laugh because it contains humor based on the naughty things the author had done in his childhood, such as: stealing his uncle and aunt's cherries, stealing the hoopoe that was the morning clock of the village, the revenge of his mother by taking his clothes while he was bathing naked in the brook without her permission, and many other funny memories are presented here. I hope you will enjoy the movie like I did!
