Radu Jude
10 titles · european arthouse
Aferim!, shot in black and white, sends a nineteenth-century policeman after a runaway Roma slave, and it set out Radu Jude's subject: what Romania would rather not remember. In I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians, an artist stages a public re-enactment of a 1941 massacre carried out by the Romanian Army. The recent films are angrier and funnier: a teacher's leaked sex tape goes before a parents' meeting in Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn.
