GELLU NAUM - VOLUNTARY BLINDNESS (fragment 1)

Writer/Director Marian Baciu


Writters, journalists, directors, actors, film critics connect through points of suspension images, situations, thoughts, words, states of mind, searches to tell us that poetry is everywhere around us, that writter Gellu Naum has contaminated everyone with poetry.
„Surrealism isn’t a literary wave, it’s a way of life”, says Gellu Naum. There are some parts from a person’s life – writter, flashes of intense living and love, but above all we see a man for whom „poetry is the science of action”. The writters stories are memories – dreams in which the life reflects through the words and the faces of his friends. Gellu Naum the writter, Gellu Naum the painter, the friend the mentor, the adviser, the lover, Gellu Naum...The surrealistic. Along with his wife, Lygia Naum (for the first time she gives an interview) tells us how Gellu Naum used to fold her at the eyes to draw her.


Cast: Gellu Naum, Lygia Naum, Andrei Serban, David Esrig, Gheorghe Dinica, Marin Morrau, Oskar Pastior, Herta Muller, Ernest Wichner, Simona Popescu, Dan Stanciu, Ada Milea, Alex Leo Serban, Ion Pop, Sasha Vlad, Sebastian Reichmann, Razvan Exarhu, Iulia Blaga, Ioana Parvulescu, Gheorghe Rasovszky, Stefan Niculescu.

„In the film are being cast great actors such as Gheorghe Dinica and Marin Moraru, film critics of large audience like Iulia Blaga and Alex Leo Serban, world known directors like Andrei Serban and David Esrig, refined writters like Simona Popescu and Dan Stanciu, writters well-known in the West like Herta Muller and Oscar Pastior. I’ve made this reminder to give an idea about the activated forces in this film which talks about Gellu Naum, the man above the writter. The film, through everything it contains, stories, inside images, but also long dalliances in the yard of Comana, the close-ups of some pictures from his youth, has of course a coloured character, but equally it stands under a sort of nostalgic unity".
