Themes Major Films Other Films Associated with the Movement Filmografia-romena 08/05/12 22.44 Romanian New Wave From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Romanian New Wave Years 2004 - present active Country Romania Major Cristian Mungiu, Cristi Puiu, Cristian figures Nemescu, Cătălin Mitulescu, Radu Muntean, Corneliu Porumboiu The Romanian New Wave (Romanian: Noul val românesc) is a blanket term applied to a torrent of internationally acclaimed films made in Romania from the mid 2000s, starting with Trafic, which won the Short Film Palme d'Or at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.[1] The greatest achievement of this New Wave thus far was winning the Palme d'Or in 2007 for 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. Themes The majority of films of the Romanian New Wave are set in the late 1980s, during the communist regime of Nicolae Ceauşescu, and explore the struggles and resilience of life under dictatorship. However, some films, such as California Dreamin' and The Death of Mr. Lăzărescu, are set later, and are more concerned with the transition to free-market capitalism and democracy and the consequences on Romanian society. Aesthetically, the films of the Romanian New Wave are united by an austere, realist and often minimalist style. Furthermore, black humour tends to feature prominently.[2] Major Films ▪ Stuff and Dough (Marfa si banii) by Cristi Puiu (2001) - often considered as the first long-play movie of the Romanian New Wave, the one that started the explosion and stylistically inspired the stream of Romanian movies to come in the next years ▪ The Death of Mr. Lăzărescu by Cristi Puiu (2005) - Won the Un Certain Regard at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival ▪ 12:08 East of Bucharest by Corneliu Porumboiu (2006) - Won the Caméra d'Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival ▪ The Way I Spent the End of the World by Cătălin Mitulescu (2006) ▪ The Paper Will Be Blue by Radu Muntean (2006) ▪ 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days by Cristian Mungiu (2007) - Won the Palme d'Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival ▪ Boogie by Radu Muntean (2008) ▪ Police, Adjective by Corneliu Porumboiu (2009) - Won the Jury Prize in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival ▪ Tuesday, After Christmas by Radu Muntean (2010) ▪ Aurora by Cristi Puiu (2010) Other Films Associated with the Movement ▪ Cigarettes and Coffee by Cristi Puiu (2001) - Won the Golden Bear for Short Film at the 51st Berlin International Film Festival ▪ Trafic by Cătălin Mitulescu (2004) - Won the Short Film Palme d'Or at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival ▪ Legaturi bolnavicioase (Love Sick) by Tudor Giurgiu (2006) ▪ California Dreamin' by Cristian Nemescu (2007) - Won the Un Certain Regard at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival ▪ Pescuit sportiv (Hooked) (2008) by Adrian Sitaru (2008) ▪ Amintiri din Epoca de Aur (Tales from the Golden Age) by Cristian Mungiu, Constantin Popescu, Ioana Uricaru, Răzvan Mărculescu (2009) ▪ Francesca by Bobby Păunescu (2009) ▪ Cea mai fericită fată din lume (The Happiest Girl in the World) by Radu Jude (2009) Pagina 1 di 2 Filmografia-romena 08/05/12 22.44 ▪ Cealalta Irina (The Other Irene) by Andrei Gruzsniczki (2009) ▪ Medalia de onoare by Călin Peter Netzer (2009) ▪ Felicia, inainte de toate (Felicia, above all) by Melissa de Raaf & Razvan Radulescu (2009) ▪ Daca vreau sa fluier, fluier (If I Want to Whistle, I Whistle) by Florin Şerban (2010) - Won the Jury Grand Prix Silver Bear at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival ▪ Morgen by Marian Crișan (2010) ▪ Portretul luptatorului la tinerete (Portrait of the fighter as a young man) by Constantin Popescu (2010) ▪ Periferic by Bogdan George Apetri (2010) ▪ Loverboy by Cătălin Mitulescu (2011) ▪ Din Dragoste cu cele mai Bune Intenţii (With Best Intentions) (2011) by Adrian Sitaru (2011) Notes 1. ^ "Festival de Cannes: Cătălin Mitulescu". festival-cannes.com.

Knapper packender Anti-Thriller. Variety ONE FLOOR BELOW oder die Hölle der Feigheit.

Le Monde Ein atemberaubender Psychothriller über die Schuldhaftigkeit - von einer der Schlüsselfiguren der rumänischen Nouvelle-Vague. Les Inrockuptibles Die Subtilität des Charakterzuges ist der Art geschuldet, mit welcher der Schauspieler Teodor Corban seiner Verkörperung der Figur Pătrașcus intime Schattierungen verleiht. Libération Einnehmendes Sozialdrama (...) starkes Kino der Digression, in dem sich die spannendsten Dinge ausserhalb der Leinwand ereignen. FRAME Radu Muntean, Meister des falschen Scheins, legt einen verstörenden und einzigartigen Krimi vor.

SYNOPSIS Alice, a buoyant and impertinent red-hair teenager is far from the charming little girl her mother adopted as she was unable to have a child of her own. Being an endless source of problems and affected by the specter of her mother’s disappointments, Alice acts with her back against the wall, forging lies and blurring lines between the fiction she designs for herself and the reality of her existence. Until her mother discovers she is pregnant. ALICE T. DIRECTOR´S NOTE This is a film about unconditional love, from the viewpoint of a character whose desperate need for it, is pushed to the limits of the absurd. Alice is the failed project of a mother who, because she was unable to have a child of her own, adopted a charming little girl, who then turned into an impertinent and rather ugly teenager, a compulsive liar who seems to be nothing more than an endless source of problems.

How far will she go to convince the police, eyewitnesses and even the victim’s family that her son was not recklessly speeding? A spellbinding drama of social commentary and psychological realism, this caustic look into the corrupt heart of the Eastern European bourgeoisie twists into a brilliantly ambiguous study of obsessive motherly love. Savagely witty and utterly engrossing, Child’s Pose is also the Official Romanian Entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards. DIRECTOR’S NOTE Child’s Pose is a film about a pathological mother-and-son relationship, about children’s positions relative to their parents and vice versa, and about parents losing their children in one way or another.
