Bucharest Express (2004)
It's just a movie
11 August 2011
It was described as fiction, not documentary. Moldovans needn't take it personally unless they in fact see themselves in the film, any more than Americans need to take Hollywood movies personally. Since it was shot on location, the scenery must have been accurate for the place and time. It takes place in a part of the world far off the tourist path, seldom seen by English-speaking movie audiences. Characters seemed sympathetic as portrayed by the actors. Professional photography, lighting, sound and editing made the story flow naturally. The ending seemed melodramatic, unless you've lived through it. But it wouldn't have been called a "thriller" if everyone lived a boring life, happily ever after.
