Cristian Mungiu-Penned ‘Traffic,’ Directed by Teodora Ana Mihai, Wins at Warsaw Film Festival
Teodora Ana Mihai’s 'Traffic,' written by Cristian Mungiu and featuring Anamaria Vartolomei, was named the winner of the 40th Warsaw Film Festival.
“Traffic” focuses on Romanian immigrants in Belgium, who go from unwanted second-class citizens to very much wanted criminals, as they decide to stage a heist that will change their lives forever. “I think we can all agree that Cristian, a key figure in the Romanian New Wave, takes a daring leap with this script and experiments with its narrative while maintaining his distinct voice and consistent themes.” Jurors Maryna Er Gorbach, Oana Iancu, Anna Kazejak, Vinko Brešan and Alberto Triano also noticed Anatol Schuster’s work on “Chaos and Silence,” naming him best director, and Liina Trishkina-Vanhatalo’s script for “Lioness.”
