Roming is a comical road movie about three Romas’ journey from North Bohemia to Slovakia. Jura is a modern, rational young man who is studying at university and doing well. When his father asks him to go to Slovakia with him to meet his bride-to-be – from an agreement Jura’s father made with his best friend when Jura was still a boy – Jura can’t believe his ears. At first he rejects the ridiculous request, but it doesn’t take long before he folds under his father’s emotional blackmail. Together with the temperamental and uncontrollable family friend Stan, they set off in an old delivery van on a cross-country trip… Roming is an exceptional film in all ways. Just below the surface of the comedy-road movie genre is the universal message of human solidarity, tolerance, and searching for one’s own identity. (forgalmazó hivatalos szövege)

A film that ends up somewhere halfway. Within the realm of Czech cinema, it is average, but compared to the global cinematic elite, it fails miserably. The comparison to Kusturica's Black Cat, White Cat is inevitable given the theme and form, and it clearly illustrates the difference between mediocrity and a masterpiece. The film's strong point is Marián Labuda's performance, who brings depth and believability to his character. On the other hand, Bolek Polívka's performance seemed somewhat formulaic, and the other characters often feel like mere props. Overall impression: 45%.

To my surprise, I found the movie quite entertaining at first. But as the plot progressed, it started dragging, and don't get me started on the soundtrack – it went from tolerable to downright unbearable. The story lost some steam in the first half, and all that was left of it was a road trip. I found myself occasionally zoning out, crossing my fingers for that humor from the beginning to make a comeback. Spoiler alert: it didn't.
