Veronica Comes Back

About This Movie

So, 'Veronica Comes Back' is a curious blend of family, fantasy, and music from the early '70s. The atmosphere is whimsical yet slightly eerie, especially with Madame Fox as the antagonist—her portrayal by Vasilica Tastaman leaves a lasting impression. Lulu Mihăescu as Veronica carries a childlike innocence, which juxtaposes with the more sinister elements of the story, like the cat played by Dem Radulescu. The pacing meanders a bit, but it really allows you to soak in the fantastical woodland setting. The practical effects, though not cutting-edge, have their own charm and align well with the film’s quirky tone. It’s a unique piece of cinema that stands out for its oddball characters and catchy musical segments.

This film has seen limited releases, often found in obscure collections or imports. It’s pretty scarce, with only a handful of prints circulating among collectors who appreciate its quirky narrative and unique charm. The mix of fantasy elements and musical numbers has piqued the interest of niche audiences, making it a fascinating piece for anyone curious about offbeat European cinema from the 70s.
