Actorul si salbaticii (1975). 2h 30m

“like many Romanian films from the same period, it is saved by actors. the script gives only a Manichean conflict between an actor at the end of his career and the organization of Iron Guard organization. it is not surprising – under the Communist regime the film must be tool of propaganda. the good point – the script who gives to Toma Caragiu possibilities to create a seductive character. the bad thing is the political message who covers under fascist menace different parts , using sketches of characters. the final monologue reminds the speech from the Dictator. and it is not surprising because the message is the same. its bizarre status is result of the context. in a dictatorship, to pledge for the freedom of speech is pure non sense. but the sinner confessing his sin could be a virtue in this case. short, with indulgence, not ignoring the political context , a decent film. few drops of humor, interesting performances, tension and the brilliant Toma Caragiu.”
