If you love cinema and you are looking for something off the beaten path—dark humour, maybe some communism from one of the roughest regimes, contemplative moments, or just that existential dread after a regime collapses and you’re simply trying to live your life—the Romanian New Wave might be for you.
The Romanian New Wave is essentially a movement of filmmakers trying to come to terms with change, reflecting on the past and exploring what newfound freedom means in a world that still remembers the old one.
Long story short, imagine you have some traumas and now need to express them in an artistic way. That’s partly why these films resonate so strongly and why Romanian cinema has won so many prizes at international film festivals.
