Horatiu Malaele and Ipate Grama Catalina in Poker (2010)

Review by Slimmaster

Poker

8/10

The eternal and fascinating Romania

This is not one of the best movies that Romanian cinematography has produced. However, it does have the name of long standing director and actor Sergiu Nicolaescu attached to it, which is probably the reason for the high revenues that it is producing.

I believe that most viewers will find at least a few elements in the film that they can relate to, whether it is the strong friendship between the main characters, the politics or even the game of poker.

The best part about the movie is the manner in which it portrays the social politics of Romanian "elites". The conversations between the main protagonists are disgustingly appealing and they apply to most politicians across the world.

The worst part about the movie was, in my opinion, the chaotic style of some scenes that is specific to Nicolaescu. The audience got lost in some of the conversations and I personally felt a bit disoriented during the quick succession of camera angles at times.
