Films by Lucian Pintilie: Modernism, Political Satire and Post-Cold War Issues
FILMS BY LUCIAN PINTILIE: MODERNISM, POLITICAL SATIRE AND POST-COLD WAR ISSUES WANG YAO* Abstract This article analyzes the films of the world acclaimed Romanian film director Lucian Pintilie both as artistry and ideology. In terms of international recognition, his work can be divided into two periods: before and after the end of the Cold War. In terms of style, he remained faithful to clear modernist film methods and to political satire by constructing absurd circumstances. Especially in his post-Cold War works, he directly pointed to the reckoning of problems left over from the recent history and the complex situation of the post-communist society. In addition, this paper places his works in the context of international art films, analyzes the reasons why he became a representative director in Romania since the 1960s, gaining worldly fame especially after 1990, and discusses his important influence on Romanian New Wave filmmakers.1 Keywords: Romanian Cinema, post-Cold War, international film festivals, political satire. “Why do you film, Lucian Pintilie?” “I think, I film to survive. It’s the most efficient way to survive. I know no other way to survive without filming.” – Lucian Pintilie, interviewed in Lumière et compagnie (1995) When Lucian Pintilie died during the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, almost all the important international media for films published his obituary on front pages, including Screen International, The New York Times, Variety, The Guardian, The Hollywood Reporter, Sight & Sound, Cahiers du Cinéma, etc., and honored him as the “godfather” of Romanian New Wave, which set off from Cannes then swept the international art film circle, heaping countless posthumous honor upon him. -
The Oak Lucian Pintilie
THE OAK (Balanta) A FILM BY LUCIAN PINTILIE RESTORED BY FUNDAȚIA9 IN PARTNERSHIP WITH MK2 THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE DIGITIZED BY HIVENTY (FRANCE) AND RESTORED IN 4K BY DIGITAL CUBE (ROMANIA) 1992 – DRAMA – FRANCE, ROMANIA – ROMANIAN – 105’ THE OAK – SYNOPSIS Apocalypse is now in this edgy, extravagant and savagely funny depiction of Romania in the last stages of Ceauşescu’s monstrous Communist dictatorship. The beautiful and recklessly defiant Nela, whose secret police father has just died, sets off into the desolate countryside with the father’s ashes in a coffee jar. When she arrives at a run-down, overcrowded hospital, Nela embarks on a makeshift love affair with a brilliant, rude and irreverent doctor. THE OAK – PRESS REVIEWS “A magnificent social satire which shows the material and spiritual poverty of a sick nation where hospital patients die from bureaucracy, and baby-faced soldiers machine gun a school bus.” Senses of Cinema “Mr. Pintilie dramatizes it in the bitter ways of social satire. The movie has the tempo of cabaret theater. It is wildly grotesque, shocking and sometimes very funny. The details are vivid. The two central roles are exceptionally well played.” The New York Times “Lucian Pintilie dissects the dispossession of one human being by another, and the cruelest is not the one you would expect.” Les Cahiers du Cinéma “An allegory of the corruption and terror that marked the Ceauşescu era.” The Guardian LUCIAN PINTILIE – SHORT BIOGRAPHY “The godfather of the Romanian New Wave.” The Guardian Lucian Pintilie (1933 – 2018) was a Romanian director whose career in theater, opera, film and television has gained him international recognition. -
