Closer to the Moon
1
We're shooting a film.
- What is it?
- I don't know.
Move.
Let me explain, it's very
simple. We pretend to rob you.
Get out of the car slowly
with your hands in the air.
Just like you've seen
in the movies.
Come on, come on.
I want you to put
the money in the van.
The money in the van!
Come on, come on.
Show some enthusiasm.
So now we're making
gangster films, are we?
Why not? I'm fed up with movies
about factories and construction sites.
Still, when it comes to action
scenes you can't beat the Americans.
You bastard!
Don't worry, we're just
making a film!
I've never seen anything
like that, have you?
- See you.
- Bye.
Goodnight.
Lord, in thy great bounty
screw the Bolsheviks.
Give them every disease
in the world, ruin them.
Burn their houses and send them
back to Moscow. Amen.
Did you, uh, did you hear
any of that?
No, Mr. Moritz, sir. Nothing.
Yeah, good. In my house,
the tenant is deaf.
If he starts to hear,
we raise the rent.
Leave him be, Moritz.
Oh, so what already?
What can I do to him anyway?
He's young, he's down
from the north
his parents are poor,
his future is golden.
One day they'll stick a party-card
in his pocket and boom!
We'll all be at his mercy!
Don't mind him.
He's old and crazy.
That is true.
I bought my mentally handicapped
certificate 10 years ago.
They can't touch me anymore.
Have some potatoes.
It drives me mad
seeing him there all day
with his ear glued
to that rattling old radio.
She's so sweet.
It's called
the "Voice of America"
and it's jammed
by the Bolsheviks.
And guess what I saw
this morning?
A film shoot! On Martyrs' Square,
right outside the canteen.
- They were making a movie.
- What movie?
Action movie, with gangsters,
and cars, and gunfire.
- And dames?
- There was one woman.
She was shooting a machine gun.
- Jean Harlow.
- Sorry?
Jean Harlow, big movie star.
Made some famous films
before the war.
Oh, they don't make films
like that any more.
As if you ever went
to the movies.
I don't need to. I read
the papers, I see the titles.
"The Third Man,"
"The Seventh Seal," "12 Angry Men."
All those numbers
make your head spin!
Uh, th...
"The Cranes Are Flying."
Now, I never knew
they could do that.
"Singing in the Rain," now th... That's
how a cousin of mine died, pneumonia.
"An American in Paris,"
big deal!
Now, if it were Bucharest
instead of Paris
and not alone, but with 10,
no, 20 tank divisions
that I would rush to see.
Here, let me show you something.
Here are some of the films
and stars we had before the war.
- Let's go.
- Yeah, yeah.
Move.
Carefully, carefully.
Take this one here first.
Quickly. We don't have all day.
Put these here in the back.
Yeah, these two here.
Good morning, Maestro Flaviu.
Morning, morning.
- What are we shooting today?
- The parade rehearsal.
- What parade?
- The Liberation Day Parade.
Oh, you don't say.
Is it August already?
Do I know you from somewhere?
Do me a favor, will you?
Run over to the shop
around the corner
and buy me a bottle of vodka.
Moskovskaya.
Wait. Wait, wait.
Well, you are now.
Pour the vodka into this thermos
put it in your pocket and give
it to me whenever I ask for it.
Off you go then.
Go on, f*ck off!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, stop.
Five minute break.
We're finished.
Pack the gear up
and I'll meet you at the van.
What's that lens called?
It's a zoom.
It's the latest thing.
- Three lei to look through it.
- Up yours!
just to stand next to it.
