Filantropica (2002)
10/10
This is a healer
22 October 2010
I don't believe this movie was made to win a prize. I also don't believe the cast tried to impress some critics that would give some high ranking in a list, somewhere in the world. It's a movie for romanians, more precisely for the hearts of romanian people. It's a healing movie, for if you understand your wounds, you can be your own medic. It's not a "see once" movie and you can't give a mark based on a singular experience.

There is hidden beauty in it and that is revealed based on your state of mind. A scene can make you cry sometimes. The same can make you laugh a day latter. Or it can make feel ashamed. Or it can make you feel proud. Or infuriated. Depending on what your soul need, this movie gives you.

Of course, some of the dialogs are meaningless for those who didn't grew up with the songs, words and attitude in the movie. But it doesn't matter if this movie took the Oscar or not because it took the "Oscar" of my heart.

Thank you.
