A Trip to the City

• Watchlist

Constantin Dita's quiet consternation once again inhabits Porumbiou's second short and is once more joined by the more carefree antics of Ion Sapadaru. It is not just old world meeting new as the young teacher's vain attempts to merely purchase a computer lead to unnecessary delays, political favors, bureaucratic conundrums, criminal activity and unexpected camaraderie. As as in his feature films to come, Porumboiu fills the screen with so much life and so many stories-while his characters still wait for something to happen.
