    Interesting tale of culture clash at a Romanian train station linked to historical events. Similar themes to the WWII 'Americans oversexed and overhere' films of the 80's.

    Un grupo de soldados tranportan equipo militar rumbo a Kosovo. Mientras pasan por un pequeño pueblo rumano son detenidos debido a que no traen permiso. Los soldados deciden pasar un rato en el pueblo y conocen a sus habitantes. Pronto descubren que hay altercados.
    "Califofornia...( read more) Dreamin'" no es una pelicula muy memorable y se siente demasiado larga sin embargo esta muy bien actuada y nos entretiene durante su duracion. Me pregunto que si no se hubiera muerto su director en un accidente automovilistico la pelicula hubiese gozado de mas enfoque y un climax mas poderoso y trascendente. Probablemente nunca lo sabremos.
    Aun asi es una cinta recomendable.

    A group of American soldiers travel to Romania
    Doiaru clearly doesn?t like Americans, especially given that he says, ?Fuck Bill Clinton!?, and doesn?t treat Captain Jones with respect.

    amazing job from the director... he somehow emphasise on the idilic bound between the romanian people and the americans, this bound being seen as a salvation but in the end we can see that it has just a shattering effect on the locals

    Primul si ultimul lung metraj al regretatului Cristian Nemescu...Kusturica se poate ascunde!

    too much nudity...and, after all, just for nothing...I just didn't imagine this country like that...the movie puts it in a bad image...

    MIFF '08: Because the director died at some point during production, this film was released without an ending. I can't imagine what else they planned to tack on as a finale - it already had a running time of two and a half hours, which was far too long in my opinion. But anyway, ...( read more)I liked what they had as an ending. It was ambiguous, but it wrapped things up quite nicely for Monica (who I saw as the main character in a cast of thousands) - although the fact that her body was seemingly an electrical conductor remains a mystery to me. There was a nice balance between comedy and drama - the black and white scenes dispersed throughout the film were especially epic and unsettling. It was just the length that got to me in the end. A lot could been cut out without damaging the story, I think.
