65th LONDON FILM FESTIVAL (6th - 17th October 2021) DAY 3
Every day (from October 6th to October 17th) I will be selecting the
London Film Festival choices you have a chance to get tickets for and
the movies you are unlikely to see in London very soon unless you go to
see them at the Festival. Here
is the LFF's main website for the general information you need. Don't
worry if some of the recommended films are sold out by the time you read
this as there are always some tickets on offer which go on sale 30
minutes before each screening. Here is all the information you need about the best way to get tickets.
This film also screens at the Prince Charles Cinema (October 9th) BFI Southbank (October 13th). You can find the full details here.
BFI review:
Produced under conditions of lockdown, Jude’s uncompromising satire is a relentless attack on prejudice and hypocrisy. Divided into three parts, Jude describes it as a ‘sketch for a popular film’. The first follows Emi as she walks through the COVID-emptied streets of Bucharest. The second – a dictionary of ‘anecdotes, signs, and wonders’ – embraces the construction of Ceausescu’s palace, Church support for dictatorships and other excesses. In the third, Emi faces a parents’ tribunal that becomes an exercise in misogyny and racism, with extensive recourse to the internet. Hardcore images disturb, but are also demystified by their context. Coming from the director of Aferim! and Scarred Hearts, it’s a striking antidote to complacency.
Peter Hames
Here (and above) is the trailer.
