True story, embellished for dramatic effect
“Closer to the Moon” is a fictionalized story about an actual incident in Romanian history. In 1959 Bucharest, five high-ranking disillusioned Jewish members of the Communist Party staged a bank heist that baffled the repressive regime, left the public in an uproar, and embarrassed the police state. Having been captured, arrested and sentenced to death, the unusual gang is given one last punishment before facing execution: reenact the robbery for the benefit of a Communist propaganda film.<br /><br />Director Nae Caranfil expands on these facts by adding a touch of black comedy, imagining that the gang confused onlookers by pretending they were shooting an action movie. Filmed in Romania and structured in chapters, the movie is strongest when it flashes back to show the gang, including Mark Strong (“The Imitation Game,” “Kingsman: The Secret Service”) as leader Max and Vera Farming (“Bates Motel,” “Up in the Air”) as the sole woman, Alice, methodically orchestrating the robbery as a suicide mission. The planning is filmed and edited in Hollywood fashion, with details outlined, each participant assigned a role, and a step-by-step plan of escape devised.<br /><br />Having embraced communism as a means of defeating the Nazis, the five gang members are horrified by the direction it has taken even though they hold prominent positions themselves. Despite a tacked-on romantic subplot between Alice and gang member Virgil (Harry Lloyd), the reenactments are very funny, as the gang assumes exaggerated gangster poses. Despite a fascinating premise, the film has difficulty finding its identity. It juggles stylistic approaches, including caper flick, romance, dark comedy, and docudrama, never settling into a consistent tone.<br /><br />The only bonus extra on the DVD release is a theatrical trailer.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Based on audaciously true events, CLOSER TO THE MOON stars Vera Farmiga (Bates Motel) and Mark Strong (The Imitation Game) in beguiling performances as participants in one of the most confounding crimes ever perpetrated. In 1959 Bucharest, five high-ranking Jewish members of the Communist party staged a bank heist that baffled the repressive regime and left the public in an uproar. Their motives were never known. Having been captured, arrested, and sentenced to death, the unusual gang of so-called criminals is given one last punishment before facing the execution squad: reenact the heist for the benefit of a Communist propaganda film. What follows is a darkly comic and sincerely heartfelt exploration of one of history's most unusual headlines, the effects of which still resonate to this day..
