Radu Jude’s latest feature, Kontinental ‘25, opens March 27 at Film Forum in New York.
The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Berlin International Film Festival, where Jude won the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay.
Set in the Romanian city of Cluj, the story follows Orsolya, a Hungarian immigrant and municipal employee whose routine eviction of an elderly man sets off a personal reckoning after he takes his own life. As she revisits the event through conversations with friends, family, and clergy, the film examines questions of responsibility, guilt, and the systems that shape individual choices.
Jude, known for Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn and Don’t Expect Too Much From the End of the World, continues his sharp, often uncomfortable look at contemporary European life.
Kontinental ‘25 begins its U.S. theatrical run at Film Forum on March 27.
