This movie feels like 4 shorts mixed into one long feature, but not in a bad way. It presents 4 different stories during the last days of Ceausescu's regime. The director gracefully navigates through the material and unveils many social mechanisms, fears and motivations. Although there are signs of living in an absurd political regime, permeated by the fear of State Security, and everybody tries not to make the slightest mistake and look good in the eyes of their superiors, nevertheless there is kindness, emotion and empathy between people. It is a movie about how the small folk can swim across the turbulent waters of history, so to say, without losing their hope and sense of humor. Which reminds me: this is really fun to watch, it has many good lines and hilarious situations. Thumbs up for the director, the cast and the whole team for this piece of art!
Some like it when characters are used as dummies to prove some philosophical point or navigate through a certain period's turmoil. This movie is not about an aspiring actress, a Mexican that wants to become a studio exec, or a star that cannot find his place during the sound revolution. It is about the futility of Hollywood - and of making movies or art in general. It is about what drives us forward - the desperate will to be remembered, the anxiety that everybody forgets who we were and what we did once we die.
This point is made very explicitly in a scene toward the end of the film. And well, it's a good point and it's craftily enforced with the help of the dummy characters that populate the movie. It's not that the characters are too shallow, it's that they are typical, like in Balzac's works. Anyone could be Nellie, anyone could be Manny.
The point is that life takes you in, chews you and spits you out. In Hollywood, it happens faster and more intensely than anywhere else. So I gather the film is about the vanity of people wanting to become immortal, just like when they set off to build the Babylon tower. And it shows how that happened in a particular time and place, insinuating that it will happen again and again and that's all that there is to it - take Nellie for what she is and let her fade into the night.
