Kontinental '25
Winner of the prestigious Silver Berlin Bear for Best Screenplay at the Berlin International Festival, and nominated for Best Film, <i>Kontinental ’25</i> is acclaimed Romanian filmmaker Radu Jude’s follow-up to his award-winning film <i>Do Not Expect Too Much From The End Of The World</i>, and the controversial Golden Berlin Bear winner <i>Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn</i>. Once again he casts his sardonic eye on the modern world with dry, and often unexpected, wit - not to mention the occasional dinosaur statue. Eszter Tompa (who appears in Jude’s forthcoming take on the Bram Stoker classic <i>Dracula</i>) stars as Orsolya, a bailiff in the unofficial capital of Translyvania, Cluj, who is appointed to evict a homeless man from a cellar. When he commits suicide, a guilt-ridden Orsolya tries to find comfort and redemption around her. Shooting back-to-back with his Dracula project, Jude’s film was made in 10 days and shot on an iPhone - giving it a naturalistic energy, and allowing the writer/director to say what he wanted to say on his own terms. “Many films about poverty or social violence are made with multimillion-dollar budgets,” says Jude. “There’s a mismatch sometimes, and I wanted to push against that.” A playful, persuasive homage to Roberto Rossellini’s <i>Europe ’51</i>, but definitely unique and surprising, Jude shows once again that he is one of the most innovative, exciting and daring directors working today.ComedyPT1H49M152025-11-28Eszter Tompa
