Radu Jude Knows He’s Divisive, He Loves That

Radu Jude is a Romanian filmmaker who isn't to everyone's taste. His last film was called "Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn", a provocative satire that won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale in 2021 and pushed him into the center of global cinema. It also annoyed a lot of his countrymen who frankly found it crass. Jude's new film is a near three hour experience called "Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World," a triptych of differing styles that leaps, without warning, into a montage documentary before finally settling into the most remarkable single take scene of the year. Jude knows his work is divisive. But let's face it, he loves that.
