A powerful document of the insular world of compulsive and repetitive behavior, Don’t Get Me Wrong takes the viewer to a Romanian psychiatric hospital, in an unadulterated take on the daily routine of its patients, which debate the weather, God, and other forces beyond their control. It is a self sufficient universe, with rules that escape the common logic, yet end up perfectly valid. A controversial film that raises the question of how far a filmmaker can go as a responsible documentarist, Adina Pintilie’s film is a poignant exploration of a community hemmed in by physical and psychic walls.
