Review :

Romanian Casablanca + Salaire de la peur

With a little bit of more action and the natural (for 1959) propaganda message, Valurile Dunarii is one of the first masterpieces of Liviu Ciulei. If you ignore the propaganda part - the fearful soldiers who jump over the lines into the machine guns and the final scene demonstration, this film is only a love story in times of war. This goes a little between 'Salaire de la peur' with Yves Montand and 'Casablanca' as they go with a barge of ammunition on a mined Danube.

The same black atmosphere as in "Padurea spînzuratilor". It was the acting debut for Irina Petrescu (very nice :) ). I saw this film tonight on TV and it has some problems with the sound. Good and solid acting by Liviu Ciulei itself - a complex character who loves in times of war, a rough person but also a survivor.

======= Spoilers ====== A very powerful scene is when Toma dives to push the mine - gets me thrills when I think about it.
