The cinema of communist Romania rarely gets a look in compared with the 21st-century New Wave of Cristi Puiu, Radu Jude, and co. At Klassiki we’ve just launched a new collection of classic Romanian titles from the 1960s and '70s that tries to redress the balance. From wartime epics to New Wave romance and subversive satire, these films reveal a different side of Romanian film and set the scene for contemporary favourites.
This week, host Sam Goff sits down with critic and programmer Flavia Dima to discuss this history and talk in depth about the four titles in our new collection.
Watch these Romanian classics on Klassiki now and read Flavia’s writing on the period here. Sign up for a free 7-day trial at klassiki.online.
