Romanian maverick Radu Jude (Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, SFF 2021) returns with a darkly absurdist, hilarious comedy about a woman casting a corporate safety video in Bucharest.

Angela works as a production assistant on a safety awareness video commissioned by a multinational. Tasked with casting the video, she encounters a range of severely injured workers, all competing for the main role – and a cash prize. Worked to the brink, Angela spends her downtime making social media videos in which she spoofs misogynistic boors. Jude intercuts the contemporary action with footage from an actual Romanian film from 1981, Angela Goes On, about a woman taxi driver facing the indignities of working the streets. Unpredictable as ever, Jude weaves a hilarious and biting tale, scathing about Romania, capitalism and much more.

Limited seats are available for patrons requiring access for wheelchairs, low vision and hearing loop. Please contact our ticketing team directly on 1300 733 733 or tickets@sff.org.au to complete your booking.
Funny and furious, this deranged movie is also maybe the sanest film of the year … A dizzying, dazzling feat of social critique, an all-fronts-at-once attack on the zeitgeist, a mischievous, often hilarious work of art about the artifice of work
Jessica Kiang, Variety
Breathtakingly funny … furious, brilliantly shape-shifting
Justin Chang, The New Yorker
An absorbing reflection on inequality and oppression … unleashes a fizzing catherine wheel of ideas, anger, quotations and references that range from Bob Dylan to King Charles
Allan Hunter, Screen International
