On a baking day in Bucharest, a priest (Alexandru Dabija) arrives at a quiet home to administer the last rites to a dying woman, but not everyone is happy with the visitor and his Christian ritual.
It Can Pass Through the Wall (Trece ÅŸi prin perete), dir. Radu Jude, Romania 2014, 17 min., Romanian with English subtitles
A short but very intense story about awareness of death, a moment everybody must face at some point in their life – and that here is seen through the eyes of a child.
The Marshal’s Two Executions (Cele două execuții ale Mareșalului), dir Radu Jude, Romania 2018, 10 min., Romanian with English subtitles
Jude’s recent short confronts two different views of the execution of Romanian wartime dictator Ion Antonescu: silent footage recorded in 1946 by cameraman Ovidiu Gologanl, and scenes from a biographical film shot five decades later by director Sergiu Nicolaescu.
