Marcel Iureș about film:
“Octav is by far the most beautiful role I've received so far. It won the first reading. This role is an acting challenge for me because it means you play the character of a child from an adult perspective”
Serge Ioan Celebidachi about the film:
„Octav“ can help us remember who we really are and strengthen our courage to explore our past, while for the lucky ones it is a reassertion of the infinite generosity of life.”
Blasco Giurato about the film:
“For me this film is a miracle. Ever since I read the script I fell in love with the project. This film tells a story that should concern the entire world. Another miracle was that of meeting an extraordinary director. In my long experience, I can say that this is an important film. This film is definitely important and it is even more so for Romania.”
“This film is my cinematic will”.
Vladimir Cosma about the film:
“I identify with this film from the point of view of someone who returns to his country after a lifetime spent abroad to revisit it, to revisit the places where he was born, his friends.[…] I experienced this when I came back home.[...] It’s very touching for me to have written the score for this film”.
