12:08 East of Bucharest (2006)
Sixteen years after the Revolution and just days before Christmas, a local television station in Bucharest has invited several guests to share their moments of glory, as they allegedly stormed city hall, chanting "down with Ceasescu!", before Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, and his wife fled the presidential palace by helicopter so many years ago.

An inventive film that at first look seems to be a rather mundane drama about a small, insignificant town in rural Romania. However, as the film ramps up to its second half, a mostly single shot tour-de-force of subtext and character motivation, the film becomes so much more, as a discussion about Romanian history begins to peel back layers of its participants, revealing raw insides.

"12:08 East of Bucharest" was an interesting look into the lives of three people who are trying to understand what it means to be apart of the revolution 16 years prior. The film was acted and shot well, and explored themes about the spreading of ideas, what it means to protest, & memory. I got a lot from watching this movie.

The first half hour sets the tone and got a few small laughs from me, but it was once the three main characters got together that the film really explodes. It's pretty damn dark, and still manages to be hilarious with a mix of little sight gags, verbal repartee and an unending stream of criticism, both direct and indirect people petty vices.

My favorite Romanian comedy (there are so few good ones, unfortunately). Porumboiu stages a local TV broadcast on the occasion of the Romanian revolution (very near Christmas) and uses the 3 small town characters to explore and mock the broader attitudes us Romanians have about that event. It's also incredibly funny, and incredibly sad, which is always great.

What is history? This movie addresses this great question in a very accessible way, with subtle links between the different parts of the movie. Lots of laughs, but the pacing is a little bit slow.

Almost exactly half-way through the film there is a scene where two characters sit awkwardly while a third character rambles on about nothing in order to appear clever. I could identify with them. The film can be amusing, and I imagine there are many jokes that are fantastic if you're Romanian, but, like its news anchor, it struggles to get to the point.

Flawlessly written, brilliantly economical "gray comedy" (apologies and kudos to the reviewer below who coined that) about the snowball effect of human pettiness and the chaos that ensues when we examine our most cherished illusions too closely. Fantastic performances by all three lead actors. Love the cinematography; despite its extreme staticness, the camera always seems to be just where it should be. Great example of the knack of former Eastern Bloc filmmakers for making the bleak beautiful.
