The law from 2005, that is, from the time when director Tudor Giurgiu was the president-general director of the institution, obliges Romanian Television to transfer part of the money received from advertising to the accounts of the bodies involved in the production of the Romanian language. movies

It seems more than natural to me then that, in return, TVR should have some tax incentives to acquire and broadcast the productions financed in this way. Of course, after the period of time during which a certain film is supposed to be shown in theaters has passed. And since such theaters are becoming fewer, and their owners appear to be very little interested in promoting local productions, I believe that TVR is even obliged to undertake broadcasting.

There was a time when he did it, then there was a long, unforgiving swoon. So I constantly watched and reviewed the films of Sergio Nicolaescu (and not only him), even one of the temporary managers of the institution in Calea Dorobantilor no. 191 without worrying about their toxic nature. That most of them, even with excellent actors, sacrificed and falsified the historical truth in the name of the priority of communist propaganda and education. No later than December 1, 2022, a rebroadcast took place on TVR 2 Mykhailo the Brave, while TVR 1 broadcast a patriotic parade led by Irina Pecurariou and Toni Grecu, which would most likely have pleased the dictator’s family and Dumitru Popescu-Dumnezeu. Of course, in Mykhailo the BraveAmza Pelléa played a great role, as did Toma Caragiu who was absolutely formidable in the Actor and savages. But this does not mean that these films, and not only them, made history a kind of stretched rubber band, as long as the communist propaganda wanted it.

However, I do not want to talk about the criticism of TVR and its chaotic management, which manifests as such in the mandate of Mr. Dan Christian Turturik, a man who recently had the bad inspiration to associate the immortal Carla Tompea with his management. my comment today. I intend, on the contrary, to tell about a good deed with the hope that the heads of Public Television will make it permanent in the programming grid of the recently restored channel. TVR Cultural.

The film was released last Thursday Large print, directed by Radu Zhude. The film, the screenplay of which was written by the same Radu Jude in collaboration with Gianina Carbonariou. The film is a relatively recent release (2020), it was in theaters unfairly few, so I, like many others, had a premiere.

I almost knew the story beforehand. Strictly authentic. And that’s because it was written and spoken by Gianina Carbonariu in a play she herself staged in the 2013/2014 season at the Bucharest Theater Odeum. Gianina Kerbunariu learned about the act and the singular and the copy of the Botosani student Mugur Calinescu from the book of the historian Marius Oprea. What is the name of the book? Six ways to die. On the other hand, the film, in which Gianina Carbonariou performs, as I said, the role of co-writer (she also has a cameo appearance in the film), in places resembles the direction of a theater show, two actors from that time also appear in this cast. We are talking about Silvian Valka (who played Mugur Kelinescu in the series) and Alexandra Potocean.

In the fall of 1981, Mugur Celinescu, a high school student Augustus Trebobiu Laurian, set fire to the entire security apparatus of Botoshani district. Someone, an unidentified person, wrote on the walls of some public institutions under the cover of night: capital letter inscriptions qualified as law inappropriate. Hostile to the regime. Nicolae Ceausescu himself. About his dictatorship, about dynastic socialism. A whole set of mechanisms was launched, data was collected and linked, researched and- Unfortunately!- relatively quickly, informants were found who helped uncover the criminal. A teenager who wrote about hunger, cold, fear, about the censorship of truth, about the Polish example of a trade union. Solidarity, about SLOMR and the cult of personality. About what he knew first hand or what he learned Free Europe. While watching the film, I couldn’t help but remember how in the summer of 1980 the then director of the Romanian Department named after Free Europe, the legendary Noel Bernard, whose death will soon be 41 years old, is narrated night by night in the introduction Political program about what is happening in Poland. The news media in Bucharest, on the other hand, remained silent. They could no longer do this in September 1989, when the First Secretary of the Polish Communists, Edvard Gerek, was replaced by Stanislav Kanya. How did the news published in Spark? With the famous as you know This prompted NK leader Muntyana to launch into a comment that the party’s propaganda admits that everyone is listening Free Europe..

Mugur was caught, exposed, scolded, put on the wall by colleagues and teachers. It was, as the security forces said then, positive influence. And although he was no longer a problem, he was followed for the rest of his life. That is, until February 1985. When he died of leukemia in conditions that still raise many questions today. Many people came to his funeral. Employees of the political police were also present.

Director Radu Jude imposed a strictly regulated sobriety on the film. Large print this is what is called a docudrama. Alternative archive sequences (TVR archive and archive Sahiya movie) with the interventions of the heroes, as if they were reading their lives from a huge prompter. The grammar of the film alternates between shots from triumphant, lying TVR shows. Signed by Carmen Dumitrescu, Cornelia Redulescu, Rodica Reru, Anka Arion and many others. Who were the reporters or inquisitors? No, they were just doing their job. Immediately after 1989, some of them showed themselves to be heroes / Like the guards, their vile attempts to justify, to reaffirm the idea Patriotic, humane, good security it’s one of the best and most intense moments in the film.
