GRADUATION
The best intentions can cause conflicting emotions. Such is the case for Romeo Aldea (Adrian Titieni), a father who would go to extreme measures to ensure his daughter have a better life than his own. Cristian Mungui (4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days) presents a human drama about Romania and teeming corruption in showing that the societal decay that exists also affects our own morality. Using locked-down shots for most of its duration, Mungui crafts a profound drama highlighted by Titieni and Maria Dragus, who plays his daughter Eliza.
