The Happiest Girl in the World
2009 · 99 MIN · IMDB 6.9 · 1,777 VOTES · DIR. Radu Jude
Overview
Delia, a young Romanian girl, comes to Bucharest with her parents to collect a prize she has won in a contest organized by a soft-drinks company. The prize is a beautiful new car. All Delia has to do now is appear in front of the camera in a commercial. All goes well until it becomes clear that Delia and her parents have very different ideas about what to do with the new car. Meanwhile, the contest's sponsor needs a radiant prize-winner with a gleaming smile. A wicked satire and a psychological portrait of a society perverted by its slavery to capitalism and consumerism

00:02:26 So, how do you feel?
00:08:39 - Are we late? - Yeah. Let's go, Delia.
00:14:55 We spoke with Mr. Arvunescu on the phone, he's expecting us.
00:18:04 - No... - Of course. Who cares?
00:22:30 Not like this, wider, heartfelt.
00:26:40 Maybe your father, but I doubt it.
00:29:09 Dad explained it to you: In two years
00:31:35 God forbid! I'm leaving.
00:36:04 What are you doing?
00:39:12 Indeed. You were very good.
00:44:49 And make it look like you're really thirsty, okay?
00:48:53 This juice looks suspiciously yellow to me.
00:54:03 Haven't we talked to her already? Isn't everything clear?
00:57:39 Livelier. I'm begging you.
01:00:26 He was quite clear, we have to shoot it as we said.
01:04:24 And what does it mean?
01:06:47 - Everybody's watching us. - Nobody's watching.
01:09:15 Minimum, I mean. You'd barely sell it for 6 thousand.
01:11:57 They want to give her a Logan and she won't even pay attention to them.
01:16:27 - That we want to harm you? - That's not the point.
01:19:14 Youth passes quickly and life is disappointing.
01:25:02 Leave me alone, Bombardel... I'm in trouble...
01:28:47 Miaunel, diffuse that light. Faster!
01:32:00 Send them in now! Go back up.
