“In the unique, ambitious
Endless Shore, the innovation effort targets, above all, the epic construction. The director brutally breaks the web of traditional narrative, presenting us with a typical «film without a story», in synchrony with the experiences carried out by the world cinema early in the ’60s. Elementary by choice, involving characters portrayed in a hurry and in clearly metaphorical terms, «the story» (a chance encounter between a boy and a girl at and their short idyll) represents only the pretext for a poem – delicate like a wind blow – of ineffable states of the soul, and is a simple framework for reflection on philosophical themes. Săucan exalts, here, love's demiurgic powers, and those of the play, of the arduous imagination let loose: they recreate the world, reinstate the primordial purity, putting everything under the sign of euphoria.” (
George Littera, “Noul Cinema”, 1993)
