What else you can do in Bucharest? You can go to the movies, but not to see the newest movie in town. I know a place where you can see the old movies from the National Movies Archive. There are all kinds of movies which seem so actual now and so great. The place is situated somewhere on the Eforie Street. The room is not the biggest one you ever seen, but the people that come there count more that anything. There come young students or people who just like to rediscover the past centuries and enjoy watching a good movie in a great atmosphere. I can tell you something from my experience. I often go there, see all the students that come there and think: “Is a great thing that young people are still interested on the past.” I say hello to everybody, buy the ticket, get inside and wait enthusiastic for the movie to start. I am excited every time I go there. Is like a date with someone you love, is like a meeting that I can’t miss. There’s one more thing going on here. On Wednesdays and Saturdays there is a “cineclub.” What happens then? Well… after you see the movie, there’s a small break and then we talk about the movie we just have seen. It doesn’t matter if you’re an expert or something like that, the most important is to be interested about movies and you can say your opinion. I think is a nice exercise. Debates in Romania are just a few and that’s why this “cineclub” is so important. It is a way of expressing yourself, a way to meet new people and find out new things about the movies and maybe fall in love with the place.
