Romania, 1937. Emanuel, a 20-year-old young man, spends his days at a sanatorium on the Black Sea coast, suffering from bone tuberculosis. Falling in love with another patient, he narrates his and his fellow patients' attempts to live life to the fullest as their bodies slowly fade away, but their minds refuse to give up. Inspired by Romanian author Max Blecher's autobiographical novel Scarred Hearts, written before he died, after ten years of suffering, at the age of 29 years. (Locarno Festival)

englanti 141 minutes is way too much for a story of a boy who is lying on a bed in a Romanian sanatorium the whole movie and pretends to be in pain. On the other hand the director Radu Jude did a great and original job. The visual part is as good as Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel. That comparison is really on point. There are many unforgettable statical scenes that focus on the main protagonist and somewhere in the background someone whines in pain, but I still felt that it all lacked some decent touch of absurdity that could soften the cruel pre-war satire. Still it was very good, interesting, original and imaginative. It was only after the end of the film that I found out that Max Blecher was an actual writer and the whole story gained more respect from me. ()
