La limita de jos a cerului / Flying lessons

October 17, Orhei, Republic of Moldavia: Igor Cobileanski has started shooting his new feature called La limita de jos a cerului (Flying lessons). Shooting is planed to wrap on November 20.

Cobileanski & co preferred shooting in autumn because the rainy atmosphere is more suitable for the drama scenario.

The film is based on a script written by Porumboiu and Cobileanski and it is produced by local Romanian company Saga Film.

La limita de jos a cerului is supported by the Romanian National Centre for Cinema (approx. 290,000 euro grant in 2008).

Born in Comrat (Republic of Moldavia) in 1974, Cobileanski is a graduate of the National University of Theater and Film Arts in Bucharest (class of 1995, Film-making).

Must see

Like any other movie lover, I have my own list of must sees. Last November, one film stood out from the crowd and made me declare my undying love for the seventh art. That film is Radu Mihaileanu's latest masterpiece called "Le Concert".

The film is a complete art work starting from the topic (a renowned conductor of the Bolshoi orchestra overcomes the impossible in order to make his dream come true after long years of suffering) and going forward to the actors, the incredible directing and the flawless script.

"Le Concert" took me from the theater hall and carried me on the wings of music, making me a part of the film. I have never experienced such a wide range of emotions in just one movie: I have laughed, cried, waited for the next scene holding my breath and I have been proved wrong when I declared that I can easily predict next scenes.

For me, "Le Concert" was THAT movie! The movie I told everyone I knew about, the movie that I recommended to everyone, the movie that made me say to everybody "That's why I love films!".
