Rumania's entry in the 1958 Cannes Film Festival was the excessively melodramatic Ciulinii Bărăganului.

The parallels drawn between the people of Bărăgan and Russia's revolutionary leaders are all but impossible to miss. It would have been nice, however, if the story had not been told in such a heavy-handed, spell-it-all-out fashion.
