One of the weirdest films of the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.
Excellent crime drama with elements of noir and nationalism. Director Corneliu Porumboiu, a prominent representative of the Romanian “New Wave”, tells a story with amazing lightness and a peculiar irony that will not leave true lovers of European cinema indifferent.
