I am Romanian, "regatean". For me,"Lautarii" is the most beloved Romanian movie, and, if I cannot tell "Romanian", is just my favorite movie. This movie is an artistically wonder. In the same time represent the Moldavian & Romanian paradox. In the version of the movie that I have see the entire spoken dialog is in Russian, but all the songs and their words are Romanians! There are well known and old Romanian songs : "Doina","Lume,lume..". And, in my perception, the Radu Negostin song is in fact the Iancu Jianu song. The song and his words, that means the man soul. The most ancient known Romanian phrase is from 587 : "TORNA, TORNA,FRATRE!", "Intoarce-te,intoarce-te,frate!". May be all these things have a meaning. This movie shall be promoted, restored, kept carefully by all cultural responsible from Moldova and Romania as a national value.
