“A smart, scathing masterwork about our modern madness.” —Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
Celebrated writer/director Radu Jude (Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World) is back with a sharp critique of capitalism, housing, labor, and morality with his typical outrageous and irreverent comedic approach. Shot on an iPhone over the course of 10 days, he cements his position as one of the most nimble and talented contemporary film talents.
When Orsolya oversees the eviction of a local elderly man in Cluj, Transylvania, the unintended consequences come to shatter her and her understanding of her place in society. Spiraling into an existential crisis, she traverses the city, meeting with various people in her life — her husband, an old friend, her former student, a priest — to consider and reconcile her place in an increasingly maddening modern world in award-winning filmmaker Radu Jude’s latest furious and hysterical moral parable.
