Wikipedia article
'Felix i Otilia' ('Felix and Otilia') is a 1972 Romanian drama film based on the George Clinescu's 1938 novel 'Enigma Otiliei'. The film was directed by Iulian Mihu and scripted by Ioan Grigorescu. The titular roles are played by Radu Boruzescu and Julieta Sznyi.
Production
Screenwriter Ioan Grigorescu and director Iulian Mihu held "long and resultful discussions" with George Clinescu about an adaptation of the novel 'Enigma Otiliei'. The writer said that he wanted the film to be made in the style of 'The Umbrellas of Cherbourg', a musical film. He allegedly hummed a song that the screenwriter allegedly reproduced to composer Anatol Vieru.Ioana Popescu - 'De vorb cu Ioan Grigorescu' (Ed. Artprint, Bucureti, 2010), p. 43-44. But in fact, what Vieru uses in this song is a mode he has widely used in his earlier works from the sixties (Cello concerto n1, Chamber Symphony, The Struggle against Inertia).The song was played by Aurelian Andreescu and was used before the credit titles in the beginning of the film.
