‘Pleasant’
Been a victim of natural
disaster, have came across someone who has seen a flood and lost their close
ones? Well, The Japanese Dog, directed by Tudor Cristian Jurgiu, is
a story of an old man and his village, which went through a flood in Romania
outskirts, taking away everything from them. The old man, Costache (Victor
Rebengiuc), is a very strong person who hides his sorrows and does his work
alone without expecting or accepting sympathy from anyone for free. Things
chance when his son Ticu with his Japanese wife and Costache's grandson arrives
for a couple of days.
Well
acted by Victor Rebengiuc, the story majorly revolves around him. We only get
to see the soft side, the joyous side, when his grandson arrives. The film’s
narrative is fine. It is pleasant and humorous at times. Good use of the
location, which gives the film a fine look. Other than this, the film certainly
lacks a depth, being a good, simple, plain story and fine acting by Victor
Rebengiuc it has nothing much to offer.
