Romanian cinema is one of the better
ones in Europe, especially when it comes to depiction of social problems in that
country.
„Aferim” is situated in the 19th century
Romania under Turkish occupation and revolves around the quest for a Gypsy
slave that dared to perform an adultery with a boyar's (nobleman) wife.
Painted with dark humor, sparing none of
the protagonists, Radu Jude's movie will dissect the entire Romanian society
top to bottom and peel the skin off all the problems plaguing this nation in a
eternal transition to nowhere.
„Aferim” is the movie for the people of
Balkan to understand and laugh, a very good small dark comedy with an atmosphere of
a Western.
