 The Romanian premiere took place on June 4 , 2006 at the Transylvania International Film Festival , in Cluj @-@ Napoca . In Bucharest , a first display of the movie was organized on September 8 , 2006 , in a square established for this purpose on Calea <unk> Street . The public , as well as the critics from the country , received the movie very well , but the difficulty caused by the movie 's unusual duration only allowed for the movie to be on display on a few other occasions . The same problem was encountered when the movie was sent to film festivals outside Romania , being either rejected due to the impossibly of being included in any of the standard categories or included as a short fiction ( for example , at Brooklyn ) .
