These lines are thoughts about the film published in the column "Teachings of a young filmmaker to himself" hosted by S.L.A.S.T. - the magazine famous, at the time, for cultural openness and freedom of expression. It was a "literary artistic supplement" even if of the Spark of Youth, and, being a "supplement", with limited circulation, small circulation and… with "art" (cah)… it was much less verified / censored, a breath left perhaps -tinerilor ....
I found, after years, that many of the films I wrote about then, hot, after the premiere, are today reference points of our cinema. And they formed me.
I chose to write about "what I liked" from what was on the market - representative titles, at least for the time. I also came across what "I didn't like" and I learned; how not to do… I think about a film, I try to get into the intimate universe of creation, to figure out how he did it, why the other did it, it made me aware of what I was seeing, and, yes, it shaped me, more than any theoretical course.
That's why I thought of gathering these thoughts by adding necessary explanations for understanding the context, the era, reviewing and commenting on certain thoughts and offering them, especially to young people and especially film students, as exactly what they are; that is, "The teachings of a young filmmaker to himself."
