Kontinental ’25

When Orsolya (Eszter Tompa) evicts a homeless squatter from a soon-to-be-developed building in the Transylvanian capital of Cluj, she isn’t prepared for the devastating consequences. The once pragmatic bailiff, suddenly grief-stricken, abandons a family trip to Greece at the eleventh hour. Instead, she roams the streets of Cluj on a haunted bender, all confession and self-castigation. In Jude’s homage to Roberto Rossellini’s Europe ’51, the celebrated Romanian maverick again masters the feel-bad comedy: at once darkly funny and truly sobering, Kontinental ’25 is perhaps Jude’s most condemnatory work to date, and a testament to the unshakeable conscience of one of the most important voices in European cinema today.
