FILM REVIEWS
'Medal of Honor'
Medal of Honor
Six years after his impressive feature debut, "Maria," Romanian-born, German-raised helmer Calin Peter Netzer returns with a less stygian riff on his native country's post-Ceausescu woes. Buoyed, like "Maria," by strong lead performances -- here, theater vet Victor Rebengiuc and actress Camelia Zorlescu -- "Medal of Honor" recalls typical Central Euro yarns, as a pensioner finds he's suddenly awarded a decoration for a WWII act of heroism he hardly remembers. Drily humorous pic takes a while to work its spell but, as the ironies mount, becomes thoroughly engaging. Further fest kudos and smallscreen tributes loom.
Cartagena
"Cartagena" is several notches above a disease-of-the-week telepic, but several notches below an elevating tale of transforming love.
Dancing on Ice
This yarn about three ethnically Greek women crossing from Bulgaria into northern Greece is solidly made, and with three good performances by its femme leads.
