Humoresque (Humoresca)
Romania, short film, color, 2007; 16min
In Romanian with English subtitles

Director: Diana Deleanu
Screenplay: Diana Deleanu
Producer: Iulian Margu / Etalon Television
Photography: Petre Constantinescu
Editor: Cosmin Bunea
Music: Antonin Dvorak

Playful like Dvorak’s music of the same name, Humoresque uses silent movie device of titles like chapters from a book of Romanian proverbs. This charmer of a film short-cuts through the life of a hard-working, 94-year old Maria and her common law beau, whom she finally marries …for love, and a little bit of money.
