California Dreamin' was to be the first feature film from Cristian Nemescu. He was killed in a traffic accident before the film was finished. It was completed posthumously and won the Un Certain Regard award at Cannes in 2007. Not as powerful as Marilena from P7 but still quite a beautiful piece of cinema.

great movie
I saw this at a film festival in New York a couple of years back where they were screening more of his work. Had the audience in tears. Really powerful stuff.
another great movie
great movie, can't wait to see it
Sounds interesting!
I know that I've seen this one before lol
This movie was based on a real incident.
Looks good! I hate it when an artists dies for whatever reason and their work has to be finished basically without them. It's such a weird thing to think about. Either way, I'm glad it won an award at Cannes after the fact.
