The Paper Will Be Blue /Hârtia va fi albastrã Series: Shining Through a Long, Dark Night: Romanian Cinema, Then and Now [April 16-April 27] Director: Radu Muntean, Country: Romania, Release: 2006, Runtime: 95 For his second film, director Radu Muntean plunges us into the confusion of the long night-day-night of Dec. 22, 1989—the moment of Ceausescu’s overthrow and the uncertainty of its immediate aftermath. With no one sure who is running the country or whether a counter-coup has restored the dictator to power, an armored military unit hunkers down in a quiet Bucharest suburb, awaiting orders but mainly trying to stay out of trouble. A young militiaman, Costi (Paul Ipate), eager to join the rebel forces, escapes from the unit and heads to the National Television station. His captain, career military man Lt. Neagu (Adi Carauleanu), is worried that Costi’s desertion might lead to his unit being tagged pro-Ceausescu (or possibly anti-). He assembles a patrol to go on a manhunt, while nervous citizens watch history unfolding on their television sets. A gripping, taut rendition of the birth of contemporary Romania, The Paper Will Be Blue is history from the ground up—an attempt to re-create historical events as they were lived by the average Romanian.
