This past Christmas Day was the 30th anniversary of the public execution by firing squad of Romania’s last Communist dictator, Nicolae Ceaușescu, who’d ruled for 24 years. In 1990, the outside world discovered his network of “child gulags,” in which an estimated 170,000 abandoned infants, children, and teens were being raised. Believing that a larger population would beef up Romania’s economy, Ceaușescu had curtailed contraception and abortion, imposed tax penalties on people who were childless, and celebrated as “heroine mothers” women who gave birth to 10 or more. Parents who couldn’t possibly handle another baby might call their new arrival “Ceauşescu’s child,” as in “Let him raise it.” To house a generation of unwanted or unaffordable children, Ceauşescu ordered the construction or conversion of hundreds of structures around the country. Signs displayed the slogan: the state can take better care of your child than you can.

This is a gift link for 14 days.

Nico Mirallegro has been in Romania and Hungary, filming a new HBO Max Original, 'Spy/Master', a spy drama series set during the height of the Cold War.

'Spy/Master covers a week in the life of fictional character Victor Godeanu (Alec Secăreanu), the right-hand man and closest advisor to Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu. However, Godeanu has a secret: He is also a double agent and must escape Romania and Ceaușescu before his cover is exposed.

With only one shot at staying alive, he uses a diplomatic trip to Germany as a springboard to the States. Helped by an undercover Stasi agent and former flame, played by Deutschland89’s Svenja Jung, and an up-and-coming CIA agent, played by Parker Sawyers ('Southside With You'), Godeanu must elude the KGB and his own country’s spooks (Ana Ularu and Laurențiu Bănescu), fully aware that his defection is putting his family back home in mortal danger.'

Nico plays 'John Miller'. He seems to have worked closely with Parker Sawyers, who plays the CIA agent, so Nico's character might a British or American agent.

Ceaușescu was President from 1974 to 1989, but those suits look very 70s, so I'm guessing the drama is set early on in his dictatorship.

Spy/Master will have six 50-minute episodes. Broadcast date TBA.

Eurovision 2003 - Number 2 - Nicola - "Don't Break My Heart"

youtube

Eurovision national finals often have contestants who keep coming back despite missing out several times before. To this point none have been as determined as Nicola Alexandru. She has been featuring in my blogs for some time now. Her first appearance was as early as 1994, then again the previous year to this 2002. If I'd have been compiling top 48s back in 1993, she's have been featured that year too.

In 2003, she finally won Selecția Națională having entered it every single time it was held, since the first one took place in 1993. In that time she'd had some bad results and finishes, but she always came back. It was a different story on her seventh attempt. Nicola won comfortably. In both the semi-final and the final she finished top of both the jury points and the televote. If anyone deserved a shot at Eurovision, it was Nicola.

What a song to enter with. Don't Break My Heart is full-speed Eurodance/Europop headlong rush that leaves Nicola almost no time to draw breath. Even the lower key verses are rammed full of lyrics, with almost no pause for oxygen. It's not as if she's taking it easy on her voice either. It's full on from the very first word. Yes, it's repetitive, and Nicola's distinctive vocal is straining at points with the power she's having to use to keep up with the propulsion imparted by the instrumental. It was written by Nicola and her then husband Mihai Alexandru, so at least she was the architect of her own trial.

The staging is novel. Two things stand out. First is that there is a story being told exclusively by the dancers while Nicola sings. The second thing is the relative lack of camera time Nicola gets. There're a lot of wide shots to try to take everything that's happening in. When there's a close-up shot, more often than not it's on the dancers Their high-kicking love triangle appears to end up both peaceful and polygamous, just so they can fit in the colours of the Romanian flag.

There have been other attempts to do some other choreographed story telling in Eurovision history, but rarely is it this complex. It's certainly attention grabbing. They shed so many of their clothes, this is the ultimate destination of Marie N.s performance two years ago. You're taken in not only by the momentum of the song but in trying to follow exactly what's going on.

It was the song that cemented the onset of the Romanian years of Eurovision. It finished 10th, their second top 10 finish in a row. It was a demonstration that Romania had worked something out. They had an approach to Eurovision that worked. Upbeat, high-tempo songs with inventive, memorable staging that people would keep in mind when it came to voting. Fan opinion still holds this in good esteem. It's as high as fifth in the ESC Discord global rankings for 2003.

I love the pace and energy, as well as Nicola's commitment to her moment on the Eurovision stage. Going into 2003, I thought this would be my winner but something else pipped her at the post.
