Dracula (2025)

  • Jude, Radu
  • 2025, Radu Jude, Romania
  • Leave a comment

Messy, chaotic and overlong but perverse, thought-provoking and utterly ingenious, the Romanian provoc-auteur channels A.I. in his filmmaking with a humongous smirk on his face, as his meta-film implosively deconstructs โ€˜Draculaโ€™.ย

In this astonishing meta-fiction, Radu Jude continues his refreshing streak of scathingly hilarious, politically-charged social dramas as an underpaid production assistant works overtime on a commissioned safety video.

Radu Judeโ€™s debut feature takes cinematic tedium to mesmerizingly hilarious levels as he follows a young girl who is obliged to shoot for a commercial after winning a car in a lucky draw.

Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (2021)

  • Jude, Radu
  • 2021, Radu Jude, Romania
  • 9 Comments

A schoolteacher and her circulating sex tape headline Radu Judeโ€™s new sociopolitical experimentโ€”a piercing satire on everything wrong with the world that is as savagely non-PC as it is hilarious.

Uppercase Print (2020)

  • Jude, Radu
  • 2020, Documentary, Radu Jude, Romania
  • 1 Comment

Intercutting archival footage from state-controlled television with Brechtian style enactments, Radu Judeโ€™s indictment of 1980s Communist Romania will test the patience of even the most hardened experimental-arthouse cineaste.
