Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Kirpianuscus it could be another successful film of a special Romanian director. or the return of Romanian cinema to the historical genre. or occasion to see great actors in impeccable performances. or, just, a different film. but its virtue is the status of beautiful homage. to film. to sacrifice of few idealist people. to a slice of Romania modernity. to figures who looking for change everything. it is a basket with stories. love, humor, dramas. and the beginning of Romanian cinema. the same flavor of films and making of and clashes between different visions. for me, "Restul e tăcere" has two fundamental virtues : the original portrait of the king Carol I, the splendid presence of Ioana Bulcă. and , sure, the impeccable atmosphere.

tributarystu Love films. Always have, always will. Would like to love Romanian films too, because it just feels good to hear a film unfold in my very own language. But things are as they are and I can't make them any different. All I can try is change my "optic" of things, which I can't seem to do in this particular case. Some films sway you to, others don't. It's just as simple as that.In Caranfil's style, "Restul e tacere" is a jolly new film about film, but also about jolly old Romania and the people inhabiting it. It looks good and is decently acted, as a young protagonist tries to make a film about the Romanian battle of independence, against the Turks, which leads him on a road of enlightenment about the people of that world. A lot of character types pop up in this morally vile Romania which bear a lot of criticism to the contemporary one as well.What disappoints me is that subtlety is often sacrificed for clarity, with an ending so full of itself that it just undermines many of the things said and done along the way. It is undeniable that the film has moments of poignant humor and all in all manages to sketch a very true form of the ill society which rules the land, now and then, but it isn't "round" enough to be placed on the shelf it wishes to place itself.I may be overly harsh about Caranfil's latest effort, but I do not wish to ignore the underlying themes and motifs he ties in with the story, the allegorical parallels of other stages of the world and some of the great single elements which are part of it. However it isn't enough - as far as I'm concerned - to be really smart about the things you say, if the way you say them doesn't fit.

Paul Blaugrana After 5 years of patience we have another film made by Nae Caranfil. In my opinion by far the best film director Romania has in this moment. If Filantropica represented a renascence for the Romanian Cinema now we know it was not an exception. I don't know if it is his strategy or simply the guys from the commission simply didn't want to finance him all these years, lets not forget that this films scenario was written like 20 years ago and only in 2007 it became reality. I have to admit that we are sick of seeing films about the "Golden Era" or directly made in the communist times. I don't mean 4,3 and 2 at all, that's a great film made by a great director but I want to see more films made about the great times of our country if not the inter-war period this story is placed perfectly before the First War or the Great War as they called it during and after it. And I don't mean maybe all of us all, I mean us, the young…the ones that heard all those criminal stories from our parents, of course its OK to see it on screen but where are those glory days of our Romanian Kingdom? Just seeing images that bring back to those times makes you feel different then seeing a secret service agent following you at night coming from a party a bit drunk and makes you see something else then the gray boxes and the House of People. The young Romanians need to take those times as an example. Of course it's a comedy after all, but all we know is how Romanians were driving all Dacia 1310 ( proudly ) hailing the "leader" and now after 1989 showing stories about the life then from another point of view, an objective one. Back to the film, the scene with the King is a very nice one, if all communist showed was the Morometii when the peasants were laughing at the royals ( romance by Marin Preda clearly influenced by the communists ) now we can actually see people calling him "Sir", I was really surprised by that scene ( probably at the Cotroceni Palace ) maybe just because of rarity of such scenes with important leaders of our past. Even though its still a comedy it tries to represent a very important part of our history. The war for Independence against the Otoman Empire strongly supported by a leader ( Carol I ) witch wasn't even Romanian, he was part of the Royal European family but dedicated his life to this country like nobody else of Romanian blood did in the last century. The young director who wants to do something new rather then theater is fighting his father who was a well know theater director who didn't accept his son to do "dirty business". It also has a very important word to say with our relation with Western Europe, we wanted to be in the same step with them, we didn't want to completely ignore what happens in Paris and the thing the young gun ( only 19 ) starts something like this shows the new generation is responsible even now, after 1989, to bring this country back to its glory days.

marius_em È pericoloso sporgersi, Asphalt Tango, Filantropica... The ingredient are the same: lots of humor on a tragic background. 'Restul e tacere' has the same Caranfil style, and more... Without a doubt, his best work. It's a story about the making of the first Romanian movie in 1911, the age when Bucharest was still 'little Paris', and the national identity feelings were probably at the highest level of all times. Although as a Romanian i felt really close to this movie, i must say there is no over - nationalist propaganda, just a simple decent story with a little bit of history as background, telling us how talent met with business to do the "War of independence" film. The humor is great, the story is a must know, the acting is extraordinary, especially the two main characters (Leon Negrea played by Ovidiu Niculescu and Grigore Ursache played by Marius Florea Vizante), the music is right on cue, the 'little Paris' atmosphere is greatly recreated and the rest is silence...
