Radu Jude Teases Upcoming Dracula Film And Says The Romanian Film Centre Is Run By “An Idiot” — Locarno


Jude also described the head of the Romanian Film Centre as “an Idiot."

Jude name-checked Anca Mitran, head of the Romanian Film Centre, during the session as he answered a question about what he described as the current difficulties of landing financing from institutions for experimental or unconventional projects. Drawing from the debris of Romania’s long transition period, the film speaks about love and death, the human body and its frailty, the natural and the supernatural, and of course, socialism and capitalism. “Exploring the various facets of this utopian dream world with the toolkit of montage, the film turns the fictional and often ludicrous medium of advertising clips into a magnifying glass for the society’s desires, beliefs, hopes, and fears,” Jude said in a statement.
