Uppercase Print (2020)

  • Jude, Radu
  • 2020, Documentary, Radu Jude, Romania
  • Leave a comment

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

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Youth Without Youth (2007)

  • Coppola, Francis Ford
  • 2007, Francis Ford Coppola, Romania, USA
  • Leave a comment

One of Coppola’s weakest efforts in what is a heavy-handed and muddling mess of a film, despite the good performance by Tim Roth.

⭐⭐

Rating: 2 out of 5.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

  • Leave a comment

A Romanian crime-comedy noir of sorts with deadpan faces serving a tight if convoluted narrative about deceit and double-crossings. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Treasure, The (2015)

  • Porumboiu, Corneliu
  • 2015, Corneliu Porumboiu, Romania
  • 1 Comment

A low-key Romanian drama that struggles to find any kind of meaningful rhythm but is somewhat compensated by its droll tone and allegorical intent.  

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Touch Me Not (2018)

  • 2018, Germany, Romania

4 stars
