Another good Romanian film is Visul lui Liviu "Liviu`s Dream" (2004), which I saw at the Berlin Film Festival and recently taped from TV. It`s a short by Corneliu Porumboiu (the one who has recently won a Camera d`or), clocking in at 40 minutes. 
After the Berlinale screening I thanked the director for his film, and told him that I was anticipating his next. He seemed genuinely pleased, as the reaction of the public to his film was lukewarm, and the discussion that followed the screening was pretty pointless. Many viewers where asking similar questions about what the film meant, and it was obvious that only few people are aware of what is going on in the former eastern bloc countries.

But still no Lazarescu for me, though I happen to know many Romanians.
