Kontinental '25

In Kontinental '25, director Radu Jude follows a bailiff from Cluj, Transylvania, who struggles with guilt following a tragic eviction. Through sharp satire and social critique, the film explores themes such as the housing shortage, personal responsibility, and the aftermath of post-socialism.

Kontinental ‘25 at the Cineville Preview Days
Romanian director Radu Jude (Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World) is the king of social-critical cinema, and with Kontinental ‘25 he delivers another wonderfully rebellious satire about everything wrong with modern society. The film premiered at Berlinale, and we briefly feared it might skip Dutch independent cinemas entirely. Luckily, the programmers at Eye came to the rescue: thanks to their Previously Unreleased programme, the best 'orphan films' of last year are screened across the country. We’re showing this absurd gem early during the Cineville Preview Days.
