Stef First time when i heard about this movie i thought it's gotta be another sad romanian movie with a low budget, but i was wrong! After i saw it, all i can say it's that this movie is one of the greatest romanian movie made in last 20 maybe 30 years. It has great humor, the acting it's very well done and the story-board it's amazing. I didn't knew that romanians are the first who made a long movie.Anyway, from all the movies that i saw this year "Restul e tacere" it's in top 5 of my favorite movies. After i saw it, i decide to buy it! If you want to see it, don't pirate it, buy it!

taifunu just saw the movie. In a cinema theater. Sunday morning, only four people in the audience, myself included. I'm blown away. here, normally, I would have added only another sentence to this post - but the IMDb rules state a post must have a minimum 10 lines. so I might write that this is not just a movie. It's a tribute to all movie makers, of all times. It's a tribute to all the people passionate enough with an idea to be able to follow it until the very end. A tribute to those few people that do not sell their soul, or their ideals. In a way, one might read it as Caranfil's manifesto. but ignore all the above. Ignore all the comments. Just go see the movie. It speaks for itself better than anybody ever could. the rest is silence.

jazzzyro An absolute masterpiece of Romanian cinematography and a solid quality picture. Its romantic and humorous atmosphere, its gorgeous reconstruction of Romanian belle epoque is fantastic (since that time, beginning of XX century, Bucharest was named 'Little Paris', due to many resemblances to the original city), the acting is impeccable and scenario is well-paced, humorous and inventive. The story is the making off of the making off of the Independence War that Romania, along with Russia took part against Otoman Empire in period 1877 - 1878. A must see picture, remarkable for the new spirit in Romanian cinematography.

Raul G The latest hits of Romanian cinematography are all movies which show Romania in gray tones. So far they've been successful and i really appreciate those movies but it's about time that a director does the normal thing, to change the pace of Romanian films a little. Through the magic of Nae Caramfil and the help of a consistent budget, we have a film good enough to compare with Hollywood productions and who still keeps his artistic integrity and doesn't fall into commercialism. The script is brilliant and fearless, with cleaver lines and a language to suit the depicted times. Marius Vizante has a great performance as a frustrated but proud young director, and Ovidiu Niculescu's unlikely (Niculescu having neither the age, neither the stature of Leon Negrescu) cast in the role of Leon proved to be a really good choice. I sincerely believe that this movie will be a milestone in Romanian cinematography and i hope that many as good as this one will follow.
