Audience Member Mihai, a math teacher with principles and no intention of making compromises, is having an affair with a married woman,"Sweetie", who looks to me as a cold, common woman, a little bit lost, a little bit nevrotic. As they are going for a picnic, they hit a prostitute, Ana/Violeta, that may seem at first stupid and naive, but is really playing with them. Maria Dinulescu is amazing at portraing the hooker, who's got them "hooked", her laugh and expressions fit perfectly with the vulgar way her character behaves, but also its charm and hidden smarts. The other actors are pretty good too, and the only thing I would complain about is the speed of their talk, which is too high for the characters to actually think and process what they are saying. For its low budged, I consider it to be a very good film. The camera is always pointed from a character's POV, which makes is a great idea taking in account there's little or no editing and the action is mostly dull. The script is, however, smart and real, following a believable story that builds up tension, with dialogue that is put to well use. Its title, also, ficts perfectly. <i>_{Mihai: As fi in stare sa fac orice pentru tine ... daca pot sa te ajut cu ceva sau ... Ana: Ai putea, sa stii ... Mihai: Ce? Ana: Vreau sa ne-o punem. Mihai: I could do anything for you ... if I can help you with something or ... Ana: You could, you know ... Mihai: What? Ana: I want to fuck. </i>} Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A waste of time watching this film, even on fast forward.

The story is simply about a couple encountering a prostitute on their way to picnic. The dialogue and the open ending gave a lot of possibilities to the film. It was very clever and well done. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Experimental stuff from Romania. A married woman and her lover are in the car, going for a picnic. There is tension between them because the woman hasn't tell the truth to her husband even though she promised to do so. As they argue, the woman who is not a very good driver, hits a young woman, apparently a prostitute. They think she is dead, the man wants to take her to the hospital but the woman wants to get rid of her. As they try to figure out what to do, she wakes up. She is OK but doesn't remember the accident and she joins them in the picnic. The movie was entirely shot in first person point of view. The camera always shows where the characters are looking which makes the camera work one of the most shaky ever. The movie has a very low budget, a few actor, a car and a lakeside as location but a simple and interesting story. I guess there is no need to sayt hat this is not for everyone. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Una pareja en crisis en un paseo al bosque, accidentalmente?, se encuentra con una prostituta, que por medio de juegos y seduccion, pone a prueba su relacion. Filmada con una camara subjetiva y nerviosa, que va cambiando de punto de vista con los personajes. Un film de bajo presupuesto que demuestra que el dinero no debe ser un inconveniente para hacer cosas buenas. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
