Event Description
Modern cinematography classics at Teatro Santa Ana in La Biblioteca every July Wednesday.
Bacalaureat (Graduation) | 2016 | Rumania | Dur: 128 mins.
Director: Cristian Mungiu
With: Adrian Titieni, Maria Drăguș, Lia Bugnar
In Romanian with Spanish subtitles
Programmer: Elías Nahmías
In Bacalaureat, Palme d’Or-winning director Cristian Mungiu crafts a tense, morally complex drama that delves into the corrosion of integrity in modern Romania.
The story follows a respected doctor whose daughter is about to graduate with a scholarship to study abroad—until an assault jeopardizes her exam results.
What begins as a father’s desperate attempt to secure his daughter’s future quickly turns into a chilling exploration of compromise, corruption, and the fragile line between right and wrong.
With meticulous realism and understated performances, Bacalaureat paints a quietly devastating portrait of a society where personal ethics are constantly tested by systemic dysfunction.
It is a poignant reflection on the price of survival and the legacy we pass on to the next generation.
Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Amy Cotler.
