Queen Marie of Romania (2019)
Superb costumes and decoration, unique perspective
The movie presents the Romanian perspective at the end of the First World War. As Europe lies in ruin and conflicts are still going in certain areas, the winners gather in Paris to carve out the spoils of the war. After suffering a german invasion, a devastated Romania is in danger of being denied its historic provinces. The story explores the sacrifices made by the Queen of Romania, Marie, to win over the leaders of France, England and the United States. It is a unique perspective of a small Eastern European country, with it's own brand of "realpolitik", a.k.a. The hardships it must endure in order to achieve its political goals. In this respect, the story feels quite universal.

Laughing with tears in the eyes
Watching this as a Romanian, I can say that all the jokes, all the lines are familiar from our society. Brush aside the references to poverty and seemingly shallow behavior for those who don't get the inside jokes, this is a story about loyalty, being humble and respectful to the country we try to assimilate in. This is who we are, it's the Romanian spirit.
