Corneliu Porumboiu

★★★

89

Smart, funny, engaging comedy finds a history teacher, a senior citizen, and a TV commentator spending the bulk of a Christmastime local broadcast debating whether a revolution actually occurred in their small town 16 years earlier. With echoes of everyone from Billy Wilder to Milos Forman, this sharply effective film deals with Romanian politics by emphasizing the human factor. Impressive feature debut for writer-director Porumboiu.
