Watch: Closer to the Moon 2014 123movies, Full Movie Online – In 1959 Bucharest, a spectacular bank heist has the country in an uproar. In post-war Communist Romania, this is an unimaginable slap in the face to the iron-fisted authorities. Four men and a woman are arrested, tried, and convicted, and while they wait for their execution, they are–forced to star in a propaganda film about the crime. All five protagonists were heroes of the Resistance during WWII and highly-placed members of Romanian society. They clearly knew they would be caught and executed..
Plot: A Romanian police officer teams up with a small crew of bank robbers to pull off a heist by convincing everyone at the scene of the crime that they are only filming a movie.

Excellent ! ! !
It is always gratifying to find a film you do not know anything about and it becomes one of your favorite movies.Director/writer Nae Caranfil has taken an obscure incident in Soviet occupied Romania in the late 1950’s and has offered it up to the 21st century cinema to give us a most pertinent message for today’s world.
That message is not robbing the bank! The message is to be found in how the system (society) can single out certain groups and marginalize them into committing a desperate act — and not really have any reason to do this act but to just fight back.
The entire cast is perfect in their individual roles, the script is intelligent, the photography beautiful! This film should a 10 in anyones book!
It’s a Jewish movie, but little else
Now perhaps the fact that it was a movie about Jewish people should have been obvious from the description. But that needn’t be a bad thing. Fiddler on the Roof showed how to tell a story about underlying tragedy in a humorous and inclusive way.To paraphrase: Closer To The Moon is no Fiddler on the Roof
It is just a poorly made movie.
I gave up watching it after 10 minutes, which was 5 more than my senses told me I should. I skipped forward to see if it got any better. It doesn’t.
Very much a niche movie.
