Love Sick / Legaturi bolnavicioase
Series: Shining Through a Long, Dark Night: Romanian Cinema, Then and Now [April 16-April 27]
Director: Tudor Giurgiu, Country: Romania, Release: 2006, Runtime: 85

In voice-over, Kiki (Maria Popistasu), a young college student, explains how on her very first day at university she met Alex (Ioana Barbu) and immediately fell in love with her. Tudor Giurgiu’s accomplished first feature then pieces together the development of that relationship, capturing the process of their opening up to each other both emotionally and physically. Alex is a country girl, for whom college is a chance to escape from the provinces forever. Kiki’s from Bucharest, and sees college as just one more new adventure among many others she’d like to experience. Add to the mix Kiki’s brother Sandu (Tudor Chirila), who shows up a little too frequently and whose relationship with his sister has a certain mysterious edge. As incarnated by his wonderful young cast, Giurgiu’s characters never stand for or represent their attractions—they live them, seeing them simply as part of their lives.
