Radu Jude

Radu Jude is one of the most fearless voices in contemporary European cinema, and I find his work genuinely exciting. As a leading figure of the Romanian New Wave, he dissects his country's society and politics through comedy and satire, refusing the polite distance most arthouse directors keep. That Golden Bear win in Berlin for his provocative 2021 feature felt less like a fluke and more like the world finally catching up to him. What I admire most is his willingness to discomfort his audience while making them laugh. He is proof that small national cinemas can speak loudest, and I will keep watching whatever he makes.

Radu Jude (Romanian: [ˈradu ˈʒude]; born 28 March 1977) is a Romanian filmmaker. A figure in the Romanian New Wave, his films usually explore the country society and politics through comedy and satire. He is most known for the comedy film Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (2021), which won the Golden Bear at the 71st Berlin International Film Festival.
