In
Memoriam Tom Lantos
Statement by Romanian Ambassador
Adrian Vierita
We
deeply regret the passing of
Congressman Tom Lantos. We feel
sadness and sorrow for the loss of one
of the most prominent voices in
defense of liberty and human rights.
Congressman Lantos remains a powerful
symbol of resistance against tyranny
and injustice throughout the entire
world. His personal life will inspire
generations of believers in the
prevalence of truth, dignity and
tolerance.
We
have learned from his courage to stand
up and fight for freedom, tolerance
and justice. These were precisely the
values that motivated the democratic
transformations in Central and Eastern
Europe. As we praise his lifelong
dedication to these universal values,
we will always cherish his memory and
legacy.

The
Painted Monasteries: Romania’s
Medieval Artistic Treasures
The event organized by the Smithsonian
Associates and hosted by the Embassy
of Romania included a beautifully
illustrated lecture by art historian
Mariana Carpinisan. Combining the
latest research and new slides from
recent trips, she explained how these
monasteries—most of which were built
by the ruling prince, Stephen the
Great offer a rare opportunity to view
a vanishing art form of the
Renaissance.
The presentation focused on the
monasteries of Sucevita, Arbore, and
Moldovita, Humor, and Voronet, also
known as the Sistine Chapel of the
East. Dating to the 15th and 16th
centuries, the exterior frescoes of
all these churches represent treasures
of Moldavian art, combining folkloric
traditions with Byzantine and Gothic
influences. Many are now UNESCO World
Heritage sites.

New Wave on the Black Sea
By
A. O. SCOTT
“HAVE YOU
SEEN THE ROMANIAN MOVIE?” This
somewhat improbable question began to
circulate around the midpoint of the
2005
Cannes Film Festival.
For some reason, the critics,
journalists and film-industry
hangers-on who gather in Cannes each
May to gossip and graze rarely refer
to the films they see there by their
titles, preferring a shorthand of
auteur, genre or country of origin
(“the Gus Van Sant”; “the Chinese
documentary”; “that Russian thing”).
It’s a code that everyone is assumed
to know, and in this case there was
not much room for confusion. How many
Romanian movies could there be?
