TITANIC VALS (1964) de Paul Călinescu - film comedie online pe CINEPUB

Foreword: A Romanian classic about political ambition, family compromise, and a man who absolutely refuses to be elected. A delightful comedy with serious undertones, still highly relevant today. Or, as Tudor Mușatescu put it, “the action takes place nowadays, in any town where there are mothers-in-law, wives, and prefectures.” Directed by: Paul Călinescu Cast: Grigore Vasiliu-Birlic, Silvia Fulda, Kity Ghoerghiu Mușatescu, Mitzura Arghezi, Lucian Dinu, Coca Andronescu, Liviu Bădescu Screenplay: Paul Călinescu, Tudor Mușatescu (novel “Titanic Waltz”) Producer: Nicolae Codrescu Cinematography: Ștefan Horvath Edited by: Eugenia Gorovei Sound: Victor Cantuniari Music: Paul Urmuzescu Synopsis: Spirache Necșulescu, a modest provincial clerk, leads a quiet life dominated by his wife’s political ambitions and his children’s future plans. Everything changes when he unexpectedly inherits a considerable fortune and becomes—against his will—a central figure in local electoral games. With disarming sincerity and wise naivety, Spirache strives to uphold his moral values in a world obsessed with public image, appearances, and… personal gain. Titanic Waltz is not just a comedy of manners but also an ironic portrait of Romania’s interwar middle class, where caricature often turns into an honest mirror. #cinepub #film #comedy
