Exactly one week later Lemonadethe outstanding directorial debut of Ioana Urikaru, TVR Cultural another is planned first job which I find very commendable.

It is about don’t kill (there is no exclamation point in the credits), the screenplay and directors of the film Gabi Virginia Sharga and Catalin Rotaru was clearly, even clearly inspired by the scandal Hexipharma. The scandal, which, like so many in failed Romania, involved various leaders of the PNL or PSD, one more important but even more deceitful than the other, the disappointing president Klaus Iohannis, ended without serious legal consequences. This was enough for the owner of the company, former doctor Dan Condrea, to die under strange circumstances. And that’s because Condrea either didn’t know or didn’t want to defend himself.

Those days when TVR Cultural broadcasting don’t kill the deal is closed Collective, as well as the glorious return to Bucharest City Hall of Christian Popescu Piedone. I remind you, another film, a documentary Collective Oleksandra Nanau established a connection between two great mysteries in post-December Romania. Fire from Collective and excessively diluted biocides. Both from Romania to President Iohannis. And also these days, a scandal broke out with nursing homes, a scandal whose sources seem to lead to one of the most powerful families in Romania.

don’t kill illustrates several commandments from Decalogue. Do not steal, do not lie, honor your father and your mother, have no other gods but me, do not bear false witness against your neighbor! Ş.amd A young pediatric surgeon, Christian Badea, who works in a large clinic in Bucharest, deliberately violates some of them. He is a kind of Don Quixote before losing a patient who had a trivial hernia operation, because the hospital is full of hospital-acquired infections, which no one reports, because it will disturb many, and because all the disinfectants that the national leader offers to the fields sharply rarefied The doctor’s quixoticness increases after the misfortune with the child in question, increases when the wall of indifference becomes more visible, and subsides after the conversation with the owner Septifarma. In the final sequence, a long one, we see Christian thoroughly washing his hands, banging his head against the faucet so that at a certain point, when the nurse calls, he announces that done. done The system won. Christian finally parted with himself.

From the very first episodes of the film, the style of which combines traditional realism and confidence in the expressive valences of a coherent narrative, with Balzac’s luxury of details, with possessions and even Topo-I In New Wave, with some easily recognizable quotes and references, perhaps even corrective in some places, we learn that the doctor, impeccably played by Aleksandra Suchiu, was sanctioned for allegedly berating the head nurse, who refused to admit the evidence. And who couldn’t do it, since she was also a poor thing, a tiny cog in a huge cog. a The Great Mechanism, to borrow a famous phrase from a once fashionable book by Jan Kott. A mechanism that included eminent and quasi-human university professors (Helu Kolceg is the author of an absolutely outstanding role), brutal hospital managers (Katelin Rotaru), press moguls, secretaries of state (Ionuc Ionescu) and even an invisible minister of health, prosecutors of all kinds and ranks Some younger who still believe in their role and mission, others who are very similar to those described in the book It could have been different Daniel Morar.

after all don’t kill this is what it looks like. What could not be otherwise. That the circle has closed. Truth and justice have no chance in Romania. The young doctor starts a quarrel himself, he becomes uncomfortable for his wife (Kristina Flutur), and for his mother (Tanya Philip), and for colleagues who know and respect the law of silence, because this is the only way to get a promotion in the profession, because they are warned, that cannot destroy anything, and for his apparently best friend (Elias Ferkin). Christian goes for a long, lonely run. We see him long and repeatedly wandering the corridors of the hospital alone or alone behind the wheel of his own car, the two directors and cinematographer Tudor Platon very often resort to close-ups. The man is terribly similar to an angry young man, his solo walk resembles the main character playing the trumpet. He looks around angrily. –
