Good as old wine!
25 January 2020
Simple, very romantic story, flawlessly interpreted by a handful of excellent actors: the unique beauty Marina Vlady, the eternal with his head in the clouds Claude Rich, the tough, young and beautiful Cristea Avram, the comic without any effort Grigore Vasiliu-Birlic and a perfect Eugenia Popovici in the role of Miss Cucu. Beautiful and delicate music signed by Georges Delerue. Henri Colpi, the same who made the absolute masterpiece "Codine" (1963), added in his filmography another masterpiece. Both films, "Codine" and "Mona, l'Etoile sans nom", are screenings of Romanian writers, Panait Istrati and Mihail Sebastian. Exceptional films, having nothing communist, no bit of propaganda, although made in communist Romania of the 1960s.
