Written by Cinobo

History thrown into the blender through archival footage and artistic reenactments of a work-within-the-work, in a striking confrontation with truth, and with historical and political responsibility. A turning point in the filmography of the great Radu Jude, a magnificent film that dares and probes.

Synopsis

A young artist plans to reenact a historical event from 1941, during which the Romanian authorities, through the Romanian Army, carried out an ethnic massacre on the Eastern Front. As those around her begin to understand exactly what she intends to stage, and that she plans to depict, with realism, the way her country treated Jewish people during World War II, she encounters immense resistance.

Μια βαθιά πολιτική ταινία

Κάθε ταινία του Ρ. Τζούντε αποτελεί ένα δυνατό σχόλιο πάνω σε κάποιο από τα καίρια ζητήματα που διχάζουν τον σύγχρονο κόσμο. Ένα σχόλιο που ξεγυμνώνει στα μάτια μας όλη την υποκρισία, την οπισθοδρόμιση, το σκοταδισμό, τα απωθημένα συμπλέγματα, που αναβλύζουν από τους αρμούς μιας κοινωνίας όπως αυτή της σύγχρονης Ρουμανίας. Ειδικά σ' αυτή την ταινία νιώθει κανείς τόσο έντονη την επιθυμία να σφίξει το χέρι αυτού του θαρραλέου δημιουργού.
