The New Year That Never Came

happening. Because in the beginning there are so many things happening and without much context or knowledge or Romanian history it all might get overwhelming to consume. But once you have travelled back into that communist regime era and the lives of people, you will slowly Understand things and that's why i felt the climax is the biggest sell point of this film, that's the peak moment. The climax film perfectly mixes real old archive footage into the action and captures the emotions of people involved in it. That era of Romanian history narrated from several personal lives and conflicting points of view. I feel if i had better knowledge about Romanian history before i would have felt much more invested in it. The film also does little in the beginning to provide context or anything about the era much until later. Maybe i will give it a second watch later after reading about this time of history .
