"Romanians can't make a bad film. It's, like, illegal in their country. Or at least not in their DNA. Over the last four years, filmmakers from the small Eastern European nation have swept into the south of France every May and put far bigger, more storied film cultures to shame, the U.S. and the fiercely proud host country among them." Steven Zeitchik, L.A. Times, reporting from Cannes, France, 2010.
