‘Kontinental ’25’ Review: Radu Jude’s Assault On Gentrification In Romania Finds Him In Surprisingly Contemplative Mood – Berlin Film Festival


‘Kontinental ’25’ review: Radu Jude’s assault on gentrification in Romania finds him in surprisingly contemplative mood – Berlin Film Festival

Romanian hell-raiser Radu Jude won the Golden Bear in Berlin in 2021 with the anarchic Covid-era call to arms Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, in which a teacher is persecuted by her school’s community when a sex video her husband made somehow leaks on to the internet. Over the next hours, we watch her tell people what happened and how she feels, sometimes dissolving into tears: her male boss, her husband, her best friend, her mother, a former student from her days as a teacher and, finally, her priest hear the story. Title: Kontinental ’25 Festival: Berlin (Competition) Director-screenwriter: Radu Jude Cast: Eszter Tompa, Gabriel Spahiu, Adonis Tanța, Oana Mardare, Șerban Pavlu Sales agent: Luxbox Running time: 1 hr 49 mins
