Synopsis: This debut film from Romanian director Cristi Puiu (THE DEATH OF MR. LAZARESCU) follows three young people on a road trip to Bucharest. But their purpose isn't exactly fun and games. Rather, it's... [More]
Starring: Alexandru Papadopol, Dragos Bucur, Ioana Flora, Razvan Vasilescu
Director: Cristi Puiu
Ultimately, like Lazarescu, Ovidiu becomes a mere cog in a social and economic system that would chew him up without a moment's consideration, and it's Puiu's goal to elevate this and other such stories above their banality and into the realm of myth.

Top CriticLike so many recent Romanian films, Stuff and Dough is tremendously well made on almost no budget, and blends the rhythms of ordinary life with a subtly ominous atmosphere and elements of thriller.
Top CriticNew York is beginning to look like Bucharest on the Hudson.
Top CriticMaking the minutiae of life hold continuous interest is no easy task, as demonstrated by [Cristi] Puiu's fledgling first feature, 2001's Stuff And Dough.
Anyone prone to carsickness should bypass Stuff and Dough, unless they have an unquenchable desire to understand Romanian society or a keen interest in the career development of one of its best filmmakers.
Though it is suspenseful, unnerving and agile in its techniques, Stuff and Dough has more than speed and danger on its mind.
Top CriticSimultaneously lean and distracted.
Puiu's film is a day-in-the-life look at a group of young people living in a country still recovering from years of misrule and international neglect.
The American title doesn't do it justice, but Stuff and Dough is a small triumph.
Like Puiu's later The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, Stuff and Dough suggests that time, like procedure, is of the essence in Romania, though it lacks Lazarescu's gravitas and poignancy.
