The research for the film began in 1979, shortly after Pintilie came back to Romania, having initially left over disagreements with the censors and because of his refusal to agree to ideological interferences with his work. The film was inspired by a number of texts by I. L. Caragiale, including Carnival Night. Banned in 1981 on personal orders from Nicolae Ceau\u0219escu, the film would only be aired in 1990, after the fall of the communist regime. Talking about his collaboration with Lucian Pintilie, Florin Mih\u0103ilescu noted the attention the former gave to the script and the special way he dealt with it cinematographically:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\">\u201c<span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Lucian Pintilie came from theatre, where he was already a household name. And yet he managed to bring all that with him to film. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">And it is true that we all tried to use as much as possible his concepts which he had borrowed from theater. The great challenge of the film was precisely this, the dismantling of theatrical instruments. Because otherwise the film risked becoming light entertainment. What we set out to achieve, and this was Lucian Pintile&#8217;s great goal, was for the film to become realistic, topical, of its day. I think that is also the reason why it is still very topical today, and those who watch it today recognise themselves in it, as it addresses all the attributes and sins of modern man. I admit that it would never have crossed my mind that I would start studying theater precisely to know how to dismantle it. Of course, I was very flattered when I received Lucian Pintile&#8217;s proposal to sho<\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">o <\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #1f1f1f;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">t it, telling me that he had seen all the films I had worked on and that he chose me precisely for the realistic tone I had lent them.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"justify\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Florin Mih\u0103ilescu <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">also worked closely with director <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Mircea Daneliuc, <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">over the course of three decades.
