At the end of the 19th century, Caragiale wrote another story, which he called Two tickets are lost. In 1901 he republished it under the title that made it famous. Two draws. He dedicated it to Konstantin Dobrudzhan-Gerea.

In 1957 Two lots turned into a movie script. Written by Aurel Micheles, Gheorghe Nagy and directed by the much more famous and knowledgeable in what could be called caragialeology, Jean Georgescu. Which in 1944 gave a cinematic version Stormy nights. The 1957 film was directed by Aurel Micheles and Gheorghe Nagy, and featured actors Dorina Done, Marcel Anglescu, Ion Iankovescu, Margareta Pogonat, Radu Beligan (as the narrator) and, of course, Grigore Vasiliu-Birlic. Who was absolutely sensational as Lefter Popescu.

In 2012, the director Aleksandr Dabija had a sensational idea of ​​reincarnation Two lots in the play He turned it into a dark comedy. He staged it at the Bucharest National with a very good cast. Gavril Petrou was incredibly good as Lefter Popescu, Marius Manole made waves as the Narrator, Helmut Stürmer’s sets were a real gem.

Four years later, in 2016, Paul Negoescu, in the dual role of screenwriter and director, rewrote, or rather rewrote, the famous Caragiale novella. He distanced himself, rethought it, and therefore a film appeared on the screens, in which three nice people – Vasile Gramada (Dragos Bukur), Dinel Petre (Dorian Bogutsa) and Pompiliu Borsh (Alexander Papadopol) – hope to get rich by acting. 6/49. If Two draws or A month in Thailand it was liked by the majority of the audience, the critics were somewhat more restrained. Some observers were concerned that the cast included the controversial Kodin Matichuk.

In 2023, Paul Negoescu returns to Caracas. Neither vague nor pressed. Just as much as needed. Cele, Pompiliu and Dinel want to get out of poverty again. But times have changed, the three have updated and are now resorting to mining cryptomonods. For this, I turn to the services of a computer genius, a certain Ionuts, played by Eduard Karlan. Luck smiles on them, a power outage unintentionally caused by themselves, endured by an entire nation that is far from intelligent, and announced on TV by Andrea Esca (as Andrea Esca is actually Andrea Esca, who has some experience in Caragiale as he also appeared in show scourge directed by TNB Radu Afrim) makes them overnight millionaires.

In this whole story there is also a stick in the memory of which the winnings are stored. But double misfortune. First, Dinel loses his stick, so the three (as exceptionally played by the same Dragos Bukur, Aleksandra Papadopol and Dorian Bogutsa) engage in a mad chase. We no longer have to deal with shells, as in Caragiale, but with inquisitive mothers (Angela Ioan), with neighbors who can’t stand each other and pour abitor on each other (Rodika Lazar and Lavinia Menescu), with philosophical maids (Coca Blues ). ), with tactical policemen (Julian Postelniku) and with owners of garbage dumps (Mihai Bobonete). And even with whores fromrespect (to Ilona Brezoyan), Sartre’s words. Sartre, who at least this time sits next to Ionesco, is present in the film not directly, but through Caragiale.

Of course, it did not do without the famous Dacia car that caused a sensation in the movie 2016. It seems to be the same one. What happens inside is beautifully captured by Ana Dragic’s camerawork and Alex Pintika’s editing.

However, a second setback intervenes. Dinel forgot to reset his password. They all console themselves with the hope that maybe someday someone will have the generous idea to do away with passwords. _read the entire article and comment on contributors.ro
