CIGARETTES AND COFFEE - CRISTI PUIU (2004)

Cigarettes and Coffee (Un Cartus de Kent si un Pachet de Cafea) is one of those rare films that is somehow cinematic despite its pedestrian setting and low-key drama. A winner at the Berlinale, it is very much about its time and place, with a greedy, upwardly mobile son meeting with his elderly father, who is used to Communism but now needs a job. Romanian filmmaker Christi Puiu has since made two features, including the critically acclaimed comedy The Death of Mr Lazarescu.
