between the Cold Wars (film: Our Kind of Traitor – John le Carré, 2016)
I’m a big fan of John le Carré. He is one of my favorite writers in one of my favorite literary genres – spy thrillers. His books are very “cinematic” in the structure, and it is no surprise that they … Continue reading
the story of a fake hero (Film: Un héros très discret – Jacques Audiard, 1996)
Successful revolutions and liberation movements that succeed often suffer from an interesting syndrome. Several weeks, months, years after the events, there are more and more “heroes” claiming deeds of bravery. In Romanian, the proverb that characterizes this syndrome is ‘Many … Continue reading

‘LoveTrue‘, the second (only) documentary by Alma Har’el (after ‘Bombay Beach‘ in 2011) confirms that we are dealing with a film-maker with an original style and voice, who has something to say about the realities and the people around us, … Continue reading
CHANGE.WORLD: Viitoruri alternative
Genul science-fiction este copleșit de viziuni pesimiste. Și în literatură și în film. Îmi amintesc de ‘Colecția de povestiri științifico-fantastice’ care mi-a luminat copilăria și adolescența. Apărută între 1955 și 1974 cu o periodicitate bi-lunară, aceasta a reprezentat un fenomen … Continue reading

What happens to the two families in director Hirokazu Koreeda‘s film ‘Like Father, Like Son‘ (the original Japanese title is ‘Soshite chichi ni naru’) is one of the nightmares of any couple of parents. Six years after the birth of … Continue reading

CHANGE.WORLD: Încălzirea globală – realitate sau ficțiune?
Suntem în plină iarnă și mulți dintre noi ne confruntăm cu valuri de frig. În zilele când scriu acest articol, de exemplu, centrul Europei este acoperit cu zăpadă, rezultatul câtorva zile consecutive de viscol. Unii dintre prietenii mei de pe … Continue reading

life as a thriller (Film: Burning – Chang-dong Lee, 2018)
The cinematographic style of Chang-dong Lee reminds me the works of the Japanese master Yasujirô Ozu. Their films have the same pace that reflects a mode of life in which time flows differently than in our ‘Western’ civilization. The setting … Continue reading
