Reenactment
Lucian Pintilie / RO, 1969 / 100 min.
In the second half of the 1960s, Romania appeared to be heading for a more liberal future under Ceausescu. One of the directors who explored the boundaries of artistic freedom was Lucian Pintilie. His wrily-comical Reenactment of 1969 contained veiled criticism of the authorities and was taken out of circulation within a month of the film’s premiere.
Dominique Nasta gives an introduction to the film on 9 January. Nasta is the author of a number of books on Romanian cinema and is is professor in film studies at the Free University of Brussels.
