The sudden disappearance of a very good pianist named Anton Ropots, who is otherwise a repeat offender when it comes to surprises (he gave up a brilliant concert career in favor of a teaching position at a music high school), prompts an investigation, which is assigned to them by the commissioner Nicoare and Deputy Commissioner Florin. Two start after (please following) the facts. Talk to Anton’s family members (sister Ana and brother-in-law Christy), his girlfriend (Eleanor, two former or current friends (Radu and Viktor), the conductor of the philharmonic, the students and the school management. Learn about the missing series, full of details, some strange, he also learns that he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, he also learns that his relationship with his brother-in-law Christy, a doctor by profession, was nothing but good.Each of these witnesses provides the investigators with information that gives the impression that it is by no means complete. Everyone seems to be hiding something, so two investigators must search for that hidden something.

The development of the investigation with its many returns to the past (hence countless flashbacks) is the basis of the film’s script follow. Screenplay written by Dorian Bohutse, Loredana Novak and Tudor Voican, translated by Dorian Bohutse, with a great cast. It is a film in which the late Teodor Corban (Commissioner Nicoare) played major roles, a very young Irina Redulescu, who was then making her debut in cinema (Ana), Dragos Bucur (Radu) and in which Liviu Pintileas (Sub-Commissioner Florin) Marin Grigore (Anton) , István Teglas (Victor), Lucian Ifrim (Christy) do not have a performance that cannot be considered very good. About what Madalina Genea does, what she says and especially about how she says it, I prefer to refrain for now.

followproduced and shown in the country in 2019, scheduled last week TVR Cultural as a tribute to the late actor Theodore Korban, he received about three Gopo Awards and several other nominations. He had conflicting annals. It was generally well received by audiences, but most were surprised by the film’s indecisive ending. With a “fish tail” ending. So that we don’t find out what really happened to Anton Ropot. Quite unusual for a police film.

It’s just like that follow it’s fake policeman. It is rather an exploration in the sphere of complex interpersonal relations, complicated by the pianist’s introverted nature. Which has a translator in Marina Grigore, if not perfect, then in any case a suitable one. The film borrowed something from the style of the films of Cristian Mungiu or Radu Muntian, as the critic Jonuts Maresh very well noted in the chronicle since the premiere. There is also something mysterious about it, but the mystery is more the nature of the characters. Read more at Contributors.ro
