Talking About a Revolution |
The New Wave in Romanian Cinema
TALKING ABOUT A REVOLUTION
In the wake of the sweeping US critical success of Cristi Puiu's The Death of Mr. Lazarescu, the festival aims to introduce to the American audience other new voices of the Romanian cinema. This new wave of young directors, who have enjoyed overwhelming success at major festivals all over the world, may well be the long-expected revolution in post-1989 Romanian cinema.
