Casino Transylvaniae
Spílerek or Casino Transylvaniae
Lakatos Róbert / Hungary / 2004 / 26 min / Hungarian
Róbert Lakatos's new experimental documentary is a 'moving postcard' from modern Transylvania. We see images of Moldavian people in a masquerade, Gypsy musicians, stray dogs in 'very realistic' locations: at the railway station, in front of the blocks of flats, at the market, in the busy streets of Cluj. Straightforwardly, without bathos, he author picks up the crumbs of our 'cultural inheritance' on the asphalt of the big, Transylvanian city with its prestigious past. "Sir Real shakes the unknown sieve. How can we know what will slip through?"
