Why Are the Bells Ringing, Mitica? [123712] Released: 1981-09-26 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 132 mins Popularity: 0.3879 Vote Average: 5.8 Vote Count: 10 Overview: Based on a theatrical text by Romanian writer Ion Luca Caragiale (1852-1912), who was a bitter and funny witness of the turn-of-the-20th-century Romanian bourgeois mores, Carnival Scenes manages to preserve and further enhance the slightly hysteric atmosphere of his plays. Pintilie creates a strange combination of carnival scenes which is brought to the screen as a burlesque, fast-paced, screwball comedy with a meditative undertone. This film was banned in Romania for a decade until the death of Ceausescu in 1989 and was only released after the 1989 revolution.
