Summer Holiday

Another bright star in the shining constellation of the new Romanian Cinema from director Radu Muntean. In SUMMER HOLIDAY a husband and father finds himself caught between family obligations and the temptation of a night out like in the good old days. On his spring break at the seaside, with his wife and four year old son in tow, Bogdan Ciocazanu, aka “Boogie,” runs into his best friends from high school. They begin to reminisce about their most glorious drinking trips and sexual escapades. Having certain frustrations about his job, his marriage, his life, Boogie decides to let loose and spend one night of shocking freedom with his friends: drinking, games, flirting and prostitutes. The movie’s husband and wife are played by Dragos Bucur, who lit up the screen in the award-winning Romanian films POLICE, ADJECTIVE and THE DEATH OF MR. LAZARESCU; and Anamaria Marinca, star of 4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS and FIVE MINUTES OF HEAVEN. From IFC Films.
