The Concert

Radu Mihaileanu's film was severely dissected by critics,it has been accused by many with the tendency towards melodrama, schematism and gross appeal to cliches. It is undoubtedly true, and the refined movie goers are partly entitled to be weary about the film. It is clear that  the stories whith fate and predestination,retrieving  past secrets and tearfull cometoghethers manipulate without honesty the public's reaction. Mihăileanu's story sometimes uses and abuses  these strategies. He thus manages to concentrate  the most varied audiences, to manipulate the viewers emotions and to make it as such  that spontaneous laughter can fall over an emphatic cry. Of course the audience armed with a critical spirit and cinematic reference  will be more vigilant about these strategies, they will find their motive and moderate  the effects. Yet, with all this or  because of all this it will be left immersed in the other virtues,  which the film beyond its leakage, has a full possession off.
