His works are not many, but they are all excellent. Moreover, his works are very concerned with the issue of Romanian people's livelihood, among which, his films contain more or less explicit and innuendo to Romanian politics and history   . In the movie "Gomera", Bo Lan Boyu began to try the police and bandit comedy genre   , continuing the deliberate and vague political atmosphere and rigid humorous alternative personal characteristics, and integrating police and bandits, espionage elements, and neo-noir genres Style .
