This film sounds really interesting. I think I'd like to see it. I've probably told you about a Romanian programmer that visited here to work on a project I was on. He was a very nice guy. But his racism against "gypsies" was in line with the worst things you ever heard from southern whites in the early 1960s.
I'm also struck by the timing here because psychosis tends to show up in the late teens or early twenties. So I assume this is just a young woman suffering from a known problem that is not dealt with well.
There is a wonderful book, Regional Horror Films, 1958-1990: A State-by-State Guide with Interviews. And what you said about wanting to see more Romanian film reminded me of something mentioned in the book. It notes that simply by being made outside of Hollywood, the films look different -- are different. And that's why I continue to love "foreign" films. When it comes to horror, the stuff not in English is amazing. I'm especially fond of stuff from South America. I fully believe people are the same all over the world. But films from different places produce very different films. It's very exciting in the same way that low-budget films are exciting.
I noticed a couple of typos in this article. I bring it up because I just sent out my screenplay to a friend so I did a spell check. And, like you, my errors were almost entirely adding extra letters or removing letters. I think I never spelled "street" correctly; it was always "steet." I feel like I'm losing my mind, but seeing you make similar (but far less frequent) errors makes me feel better!
That sounds like a great book! Remind me of it sometime. My library list is just swamped right now.
And please correct my typos. It's hard to see them when you type them.
You might like this one. I thought it got way too conventional in the second half, but I thought it was doing something really unique in the first. A depiction of a place and people in a specific situation that wouldn't be like anywhere else.
Depressing poor monastery/convent subtitled Eastern European movies, that's why I work to bring joy to readers!
The book is mostly a reference. But it was very useful to me; I learned of a lot of filmmakers. I think it is where I discovered JR Bookwalter (king of the $2,000 feature).
You really don't have enough typos to worry about. But if you have something you really want to get right, I recommend adding text-to-speech to your toolbox. But my experience with Frankly Curious was just that I could not face reading articles one last time. It's exhausting when you write a lot. And you are!
I try to check for mistakes. I do catch a few. But after I re-read it once, and think, "hmm, this is alright," I read it again and think "what garbage. Who told you you have any right to put anything in the world? You're an idiot and everything you say is stupid."
That may be true... but it’s not useful for catching typos!
The real problem is how much content you need to put out. In the past, columnists could write 2 800-word articles per week. Bloggers often do twice that per day. And I know how it is. After I'm done with it, I just can't deal with it anymore. Even reading through it another time is too much!
