NU ASTEPTA PREA MULT DE LA SFÂRSITUL LUMII

Romania/Luxembourg/France/Croatia, 2023, Radu Jude

But when a participant in the movie makes an unacceptable statement during the shoot, the beleaguered filmmaker is compelled to re-work his story in a manner consistent with the company’s narrative. Variety‘s Jessica Kiang proclaimed Jude’s comedy her favorite film of 2023, writing “Of all the silly movies, smart movies, angry, boring, funny, sad movies, sentimental, stirring, nutso, epic, intimate, direct, contorted, arch, sincere, sweet and salty movies this year, only this one is all of the above. Go ahead and try to expect too much from it. You can’t.” “With thrilling dexterity and acerbic wit, [Do Not Expect…] finds a way to mock crass commercialism, cultural misogyny, corporate greed, worker exploitation, bigotry, social media hate, and the many systems and forces conspiring to crush us all.” –Daily Beast.
