Comment j'ai fêté la fin du monde
 Order DVD
The recent Rumanian cinema delights the screenland
The current Rumanian cinema is very exciting, which could also be seen at the Festival in Cannes: In 2006, the gentle feature film "Comment j'ai fêté la fin du monde" (Cum mi-am petrecut sfârsiful lumil) by Catalin Mitulescu was honoured with the award "Un certain regard" for the actress. A brilliant Dorotheea Petre represents the young woman Eva at the time, when the Iron Curtain disintegrated. She's living together with her seven-year-old brother Lalalilu in a quarter of Bukarest, as a high school student and an attractive young woman. When she breaks a bust of Ceasescu to pieces she is sent in a borstal and meets Andrej, the son of a dissident. Together they plan their escape whereas her kid brother Lalalilu has an attack on the head of state in mind.
Refreshing, melancholic and cheerful.
