Episode Synopsis
Ep. 311: Radu Jude on his film Kontinental ’25, reflecting the world today, and going back to basics
Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. It’s not every day that I feature the same filmmaker twice in two years on the podcast, but we’ll make a delightful exception for Radu Jude, director of Kontinental ’25. I spoke with Jude about Kontinental '25 at the Berlin Film Festival, where his film won a Silver Bear, and where Jude previously won the Golden Bear for Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn. Kontinental ’25 follows a bailiff (an outstanding Eszter Tompa) who faces a personal reckoning after she evicts a man. True to the director of the rambunctious Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World, our conversation features his thoughtful reflections on living in the world today, on filmmaking technique, on dinosaur parks, and on what he’s been reading and watching.
Kontinental ’25 will be released theatrically in North America by 1-2 Special.
