In her naivety and pureness , Dorulet-as Manea caresses her,touches the unseen strings of his heart and soul , which he taught to be long dead,she awoke adolescence (like) emotions in the sleeping lion.

Expresul de Buftea poster

Film montage, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Romanian comedy, using fragments from Romanian films from 1927-1977. The connecting sequences - the conversations of cinephile travelers on their way to the film studios in Buftea - account for about 40% of the total length of the film. We are grateful to the filmmakers for the reunions with great actors who have passed away or great living actors. We are very grateful to them for their kind and benevolent effort to entertain us in every way and in every way; the comedy way, the musical way, the music-hall way, all ways, because, if you look closely, an excellent comic moment comes from a detective movie.

Two Lottery Tickets poster
8.1

1957 film adaptation of Romanian playwright Ion Luca Caragiale's novella “Două loturi” (Two Lottery Tickets, 1901). The scenario was written by director Jean Georgescu, one of the most skilled Romanian filmmakers of the 1940s and 1950s, while the directing belongs to Aurel Miheleş and Gheorghe Naghi, at that time both recently graduated from the All-Union State Institute of Cinematography in Moscow. This is the second feature film in colour from Romania. Despite the great public success, the film was often criticized by reviewers, mostly for its unhandy directing from the two debutants. Miheleş and Naghi would however continue their collaboration and release another two Caragiale adaptations, of which “Telegrame” (Telegrams, 1959) was nominated for the Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) at the 1960 edition of the Cannes festival.
