Virgil Calotescu

Overview

Virgil Calotescu was a prolific Romanian film director, known for his extensive work in both documentary and feature films. He graduated from the Faculty of History at the University of Bucharest in 1950 and began his career at the Sahia Film studio, debuting with the documentary Daruri smulse naturii in 1952. Calotescu directed nearly 50 films between 1952 and 1987, often collaborating with screenwriter Francisc Munteanu. Notable works include Buletin de București (1982), a comedy exploring the bureaucratic challenges of obtaining a residence permit in Bucharest, and Căsătorie cu repetiție (1985), which humorously examines marital relationships. His films are recognized for their satirical take on social issues and remain significant in Romanian cinema.
