Romania (2010) Dir: Radu Mantean. The Romanian New Wave of the past decade has yielded many internationally acclaimed gems. Add to them this elegant, emotionally resonant drama of a middle-class couple whose marriage is rocked by the husband-s illicit affair with their daughter-s sexy dentist. In scorchingly intense long takes, the power dynamics among these three are unpredictable and, in the end, devastating. The fact that the two leads are actually a married couple adds to the verisimilitude.
Romanian with English subtitles. Not Rated. 99 mins.
Funding provided by Nashville Premieres.
