Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World
April 5 - 11, 2024
Romanian director Radu Jude follows up his 2021 Berlinale-winning Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn with this tale of cinema and economics in two parts. Overworked and underpaid, Angela drives around the city of Bucharest to film the casting for a "safety at work video" commissioned by a multinational company. When one of the interviewees reveals the company’s liability in his accident, a scandal erupts.
"... a dizzying, dazzling feat of social critique, an all-fronts-at-once attack on the zeitgeist, and a mischievous, often hilarious work of art about the artifice of work."—Variety
