BOOGIE
6/10
I'm not sure if Romanian films and I are going to get along. I went against the grain last year by disliking '4 Weeks, 3 Months, 2 Days', and this one while better, wasn't fantastic. It's about Bogdan (aka Boogie) who normally works excessively long hours, but is taking a well earned holiday with his wife and young son. He crosses paths with a couple of old high school friends, and goes out for a night of debauchery with them. As a new father who has trouble juggling everything on his plate, I identified a little bit with Bogdan - the difference is that I've chosen to prioritise what's important to me (entirely) differently, and therefore had a hard time empathising with the character.
