"At first glance, the Romanian dramedy 'Povestea unui pierde-vara' may seem like an imitation (or homage) to Woody Allen's cinema: urban landscapes as the backdrop of various romances between a man and several women (usually younger than him), to the sound of popular music and hysterical screams. However, at the same time, it also works as a curious parody of how absurd Allen's cinema can be. Directed by Paul Negoescu, whom you may know from the cult comedy 'Two Lottery Tickets'."
