Review of Made in Romania (2010) by Anya S — 26 Oct 2011

This little indie mockumentary is apparently so indie that I had to suggest adding it to Flixster! Surprising since it stars Jennifer Tilly and has Elizabeth Hurley in a cameo. A film producer who dreams of bringing a Victorian period drama to life finds himself constantly compromising just to prevent the project's collapse under the burden of a new daily catastrophe. Such obstacles include a belligerent foul-mouthed director, the local mafia, a flock of intrusive noisy pigeons, and budget constraints that require they attempt to recreate 19th century England in rural Romania with Romanian extras who can't speak a word of English!

Quite funny throughout, shedding some light as well as flashing a knowingly wry smile upon the world of low-budget filmmaking. Not quite as good as the simailrly-themed and equally indie/unknown ...And God Spoke but still a pleasant surprise.
