"Boogie," says the thirtysomething Bogdan of his childhood friends called Penescu Iordache and still, when he the two met again during a short break in a run-down resort on the Romanian Black Sea coast. For the duration of a Boogie night slips into the skin of that irresponsible adolescent, he once was. His pregnant girlfriend Smaranda, with whom he runs a small furniture design company, and their son Adi, it can in the meantime, back in the hotel room.
Radu Muntean's Boogie
is far more casual told to teach as a still so sketchy, summary can. The film is composed of self-contained scenes of everyday life that are not so unpredictable, because something is improbable zutrüge. On the contrary, all that happens is invested in the characters and their changing situations. Because this plant open but not at the beginning is, but only gradually takes on the shape, are the situations in which Bogdan finds itself in a mobility of which can compete with the most open films Eric Rohmer.
dramatization has also Muntean narrative Preference for such expressions of which occur only almost: almost looks Bogdan too deeply into the glass, he almost looks elsewhere, almost escalated a dispute. Again and again leads Boogie approached interpersonal depths in order to recall the last moment a better one, the manifest plot winds up to a possibility among many. For the overhang of deferred helps the camera. Even where the dialogue is brilliant on empathy, she keeps a polite distance to the figures, the near half-settings.
Muntean is about more than a frustrated travel through the night. Without his time shouting too loudly diagnostic applications, will his Boogie but also a portrait of that first generation of Romanians who were - not the name compels the slightest respect Ceauşescu more - in a great scene. Under this aspect is also evident, so must the friendship in the center of the film at the end turn out to be non-binding. While Bogdan it - at least in financial terms - has managed to get Iordache fails with undeclared work through life. Even and especially in the post-communist societies is: Money runs deeper than friendship.
