Romanian cinema

Romania's auteur cinema is among the best that European cinema has to offer

For several years now, Romania's auteur cinema has been among the best that European cinema currently has to offer. Romanian films look at the country's present with a pronounced will to style, great force and grim irony, but above all with radical and, in a good sense, reckless creative art. "Suddenly it was," wrote David Hugendick in the ZEIT in 2012, "as if a door had opened, revealing a view of the dim world that had been forgotten since those Christmas days in 1989, after Nicolae Ceaușescu collapsed in gunfire. And suddenly it was as if the Romanian film was standing there and didn't want to leave."
