‘Three Kilometers To The End Of The World’ Review: Emanuel Parvu’s Drama An Expansive Tale Of Corruption And Lies – Cannes Film Festival


Three Kilometers to the End of the World is an emotional map of a Romanian community amid gay-bashing, corruption and lies.

When Adi (Ciprian Chiujdea) is beaten up outside the one dance club in the village where he grew up, his father takes up the cudgels, chivvying the local police chief into finding out who did it. Dumitrache — perhaps the leading actor of the Romanian New Wave — grows increasingly hollow-eyed with misery as Dragoi, whose hopes for the future are entirely invested in his beloved son, sees his small world fall apart. Title: Three Kilometers to the End of the World Festival: Cannes (Competition) Director-screenwriter: Emanuel Parvu Cast: Bogdan Dumitrache, Ciprian Chiujdea, Laura Vasily Sales agent: Memento Running time: 1 hr 45 min
