The treasure's reviews
Media reviews
New York Times
The final shot, accompanied by an improbable but perfect musical cue, is an astonishing cinematic gesture, an appalling, hilarious statement about modern values, the state of the world, human nature and everything else. This is a movie that lives up to its name.
Variety
Porumboiu?s particular brand of farce is always shot through with the pulse of everyday life and its Sisyphean struggles. He is, simply put, one of our great contemporary observers of the human comedy.
Vulture
Drolly funny and rigorously executed, Corneliu Porumboui?s 'The Treasure' offers a fine example of the conceptual boldness that characterizes much of New Wave Romanian cinema.
Indiewire
'The Treasure' may not be a major work from Porumboiu or his filmmaking tradition, but it proves that even cerebral formalism has its soft side.
The Guardian
This Romanian comedy?s plot meanders like a drunken old man?s story, but those who stick with it will be rewarded
