Opens March 29 | Radical Romanian provocateur Radu Jude (BAD LUCK BANGING OR LOONY PORN) returns to the Film Center with a fresh crop of hot takes assailing corporate greed, social media rot, flagrant misogyny, and worker exploitation—don’t worry, it’s a comedy. Pushing the conventional boundaries of narrative cinema, Jude follows a day-in-the-life of Angela, a cynical film production assistant as she drives around Bucharest on her current gig: recording testimonials of workers who have been injured on the job. Intercut with footage from Lucian Bratu’s 1981 film ANGELA MOVES ON, Jude’s latest is a razor sharp retort to human existence in the 21st century. Film Center exclusive.
