This would probably be popular in America right now.
Just curious, why the focus on Romanian films so far? :o
And I just ADORE the mise en scene in the 3rd photo, it just feels so creepy and depressing :D
No, special reason. Just what I have been watching recently.
The scene in the third screenshot was really well done. It is a first person point of view shot of the main character watching those kids smoking a joint from an alcove across the street. You don't see it in the photo but on our side of the fence, running in and out of frame, are a bunch of children playing football.
damn, chasing a kid for smoking marijuana with his friends...that's some good police work, lou. :D
this looks like a good movie
That scene sounds amazing...the perfect contrast! I'll be checking this movie out :)
