Romanian Cinema

A storm rolled in during my grad class today. Berny was caught on the highway and didn't make it in time. We had a fun discussion about Phil Hoffman's "O! Zoo", which coincidentally rolled smoothly into the themes discussed by Doru Pop who presented the MAP Lecture later in the afternoon on the topic of recent Romanian Cinema. I got really pumped to see these films but the week had me so exhausted that we couldn't drag ourselves to the 6:30 screening at the RPL. William and I did however brave the storm to get to the library for the 9:15 show, only to find out that the schedule had been changed and we'd missed the film we came to see and that the second film had started early and we were already missing it.
We attended both screenings the following night: "Aferim" and "When Evening Falls on Bucharest".
