Oh, I see. Yeah, poor decision-making on my part. I should have stuck around! .-= Erika´s last blog post ..TORONTO AFTER DARK 2009: DANSE MACABRE =-.

Oooh. You would have really enjoyed this one then. I’m pretty sure that I had a different take on it specifically because I have some reference for the area and culture. In my third year of university we did a play called Mad Forrest about the Romanian revolution. There was an overwhelming response from the Romanian community for that show and I spent a lot of time speaking with members of the audience. After that I started to seek out films from the Eastern Europe area in general. The film is such a brilliant mix of British and Romanian cultures, plus a plain awesome story about people to begin with. I hope it does really, really well.

(PS: I know you don’t live in the city, but at After Dark at least I would stay for anything marked ‘World Premiere’.)

Now I wish I would have seen this one! My parents are from Eastern Europe, Hungary to be exact, so to hear a film taking place in Romania really got me interested. Not sure why, but practically all Eastern European films (or films that center around the area) interest me – it could be the heritage the intimacy it brings. I can’t believe I walked out of Vampire GIrl Vs Frankenstein Girl and missed this one!

Great review!
