Corneliu Porumboiu – 2006 – 1h29
Comedy
Winner of the Caméra d’Or prize at Cannes in 2006, this comic offering by the Romanian director Corneliu Porumboiu gives a disenchanted view of the 1989 revolution which ended the tyranny of Ceausescu. The story is set in a small provincial town which is preparing to celebrate Christmas. The boss of the local television station takes advantage of this unifying period to organise a televised debate which stirs up the townsfolk's past. A hilarious political satire.
