Cold Waves
Razboi pe Celea Undelor, Germany, Luxembourg, Romania, 2007, 108 min, 35 mm, Beta, Politics
This is a love and hate story built around something no one can see or touch: radio waves. During the 80's, Radio Free Europe was the secret relief and confidant of its Romanian listeners. The Radio was Ceausescu's most important enemy; he even hired Carlos the Jackal to close it down. A strange alliance was thus forged, between a national - communist dictator and the international terrorism. The world has changed - there are different wars now. But if you listen to the voices, you may get a better picture…
