AFERIM!<br />

Radu Jude<br />

Romania, Bulgaria, Czech Republic 2015<br />

108 min, DCP, b/w / rum OV + eng SUB<br />

Wie Don Quijote mit Sancho Panza reiten der<br />

Gendarm Costandin und sein Sohn Ionita durch<br />

die Weiten der Walachei, um den entlaufenen Leibeigenen<br />

Carfin ausfindig zu machen. Die Handlung,<br />

die 1835 als absurder Western im rumänischen<br />

Niemandsland beginnt, wirft Fragen nach der<br />

Akzeptanz Anderer in der damaligen genauso wie<br />

in der heutigen Gesellschaft auf. Langsam kommt<br />

Empathie mit den Hauptfiguren auf und die sich<br />

entspinnende Vater-Sohn-Geschichte wird zu einer<br />

Parabel der Menschlichkeit. Ohne Sentimentalität<br />

und historisch fundiert widmet sich der Film<br />

Themen wie Frauenfeindlichkeit, Antiziganismus<br />

und Antisemitismus. (rp)<br />

Like Don Quixote flanked by Sancho Panza, the<br />

gendarme Costandin and his son Ionita ride<br />

through the vast steppes of Walachia, on the<br />

trail of the run-away bondsman Carfin. The film,<br />

which begins in 1835 as an absurd Western set in<br />

a Romanian no man’s land, poses questions about<br />

the acceptance of others in society both back then<br />

and now. Little by little, the main characters earn<br />

our empathy and the unfolding father-son story<br />

becomes a parable on what it means to be human.<br />

Without sentimentality and with its feet firmly<br />

planted in historical fact, AFERIM! tackles topics<br />

such as misogyny, anti-ziganism and anti-Semitism<br />

with aplomb.<br />

THE DEAD NATION<br />

ŢARA MOARTĂ /<br />

DIE TOTE NATION<br />

Radu Jude<br />

Romania 2017<br />

83 min, DCP, b/w / OV + eng SUB<br />

DIE TOTE NATION dokumentiert „Fragmente<br />

paralleler Leben“ der Jahre 1937 bis 1946 in<br />

Rumänien. Projiziert werden eindrückliche, oft<br />

wunderschöne, detaillierte Porträts der einfachen<br />

ländlichen Bevölkerung, festgehalten von „Fotostudio<br />

Splendid“ im Südosten des Landes. Dazu sind<br />

Tagebucheinträge des jüdischen Bukarester Arztes<br />

Emil Dorian zu hören – vorgetragen von Radu Jude<br />

selbst. Dazwischen lassen Radioausschnitte und<br />

nationalistische Lieder der Zeit den zunehmenden<br />

Antisemitismus erahnen, den Dorian am eigenen<br />

Leib erfährt und den Zeugenberichte bestätigen.<br />

(rp)<br />

THE DEAD NATION documents “Fragments of<br />

Parallel Lives” from the period of 1937 to 1946<br />

in Romania. The film shows striking, detailed<br />

and often beautiful portraits of the simple rural<br />

population, captured by “Fotostudio Splendid” in<br />

the country’s southeast region. Parallel to these<br />

projections one hears diary entries from the<br />

Jewish Bucharest resident and doctor Emil Dorian,<br />

read by Radu Jude himself. In between, excerpts<br />

from radio broadcasts and nationalistic songs<br />

from the era allow one to begin to fathom the<br />

anti-Semitism that Dorian experiences first hand<br />

and through the reports of eyewitnesses.<br />
