15.09.2024 | DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM THE END OF THE WORLD (RO/LU/FR/HR 2023, Radu Jude)

NU AȘTEPTA PREA MULT DE LA SFÎRȘITUL LUMII

RO/LU/FR/HR 2023, D: Radu Jude, A: Ilinca Manolache, Ovidiu Pîrșan, Nina Hoss, 163′, OV with English subtitles, DCP

We follow Angela, an overworked production assistant, as she travels around Bucharest. She drinks energy drinks incessantly and is on her way to shoot videos of casting candidates for a workplace safety campaign. Ovidius, a paralysed worker, gets the part. However, he can’t tell his story the way he would like to. In his absurd, bone-dry, satirical version of the apocalypse, Jude furiously juxtaposes times, materials, storylines and aesthetic worlds. Packed with details, the film dissects a late capitalist zeitgeist with its fascist undertones and allows us to watch the (manipulative) production of images.
