Parking – Where the kitsch pulls over
To say that Parking, Tudor Giurgiu's latest film, is a production for the general public would be an offense to the audience. To summarize, the film adaptation of the novel "Closeness" (by Marin Malaicu-Hondrari) is nothing more than a systematic fall in clichés, clumsy dialogues, widely used local humor, and thick lines.
