Filmmaker Radu Jude wields the brush of New Romanian Cinema to paint flutters of sensual experience. His film Do Not Expect Too Much of the End of the World (2023) is filled to the brim with absurd explorations of modern life, richly presented through his colourful cinematography, modern visuals and uncompromisingly experimental approach. As a political satire, it tells the tale of an overworked and underpaid woman navigating the pitfalls of modern life in Bucharest. Radu’s films are soaked in critical and thought- provoking storytelling, his extensive filmography cementing him as an inexhaustible source of knowledge and understanding. His most recent feature, Dracula (2025) retells the classic tale as a satirical comedy-drama set in contemporary Transylvania.
