About this event
Directed by Golden Bear winner Radu Jude, this is a fierce and darkly comic swipe at modern day Romanian life. Overworked and underpaid production assistant Angela is assigned to film a workplace safety video for a multinational corporation in Bucharest, and on the side, vise-signals through her TicTok alter ego, Bobita. When one of the interviewees makes a statement that refutes the company’s blame-the-worker campaign, Angela has to re-invent the story. This anarchic satire is a wild and unforgettable ride through the vulgar indignities of the “new economy.” (Nu astepta prea mult de la sfârsitul lumii, Radu Jude, Romania/Luxembourg/France/Croatia/Switzerland/UK 2023, 163 min., DCP, Romanian, English, German, Hungarian, and Italian, with English subtitles)
A joint effort of the Dryden Theatre and the Rochester Labor Council, the Rochester Labor Film Series presents motion pictures celebrating workers around the world.
