Event Description
Graduation (2016) Romania | Drama / Psychological Thriller
Director: Cristian Mungiu With: Adrian Titieni, Maria - Victoria Dragus, Lia Bugnar
Duration: 2:08 hrs.
In Romanian with English subtitles
Programmer: Elías Nahmías
From Palme d'Or - winning director Cristian Mungiu, Graduation is a taut, morally complex portrait of a father navigating a corrupt system for the sake of his daughter's future. Set in contemporary Romania, the story follows a respecte d doctor whose daughter, on the verge of earning a scholarship abroad, suffers a traumatic assault. In the aftermath, he must decide how far he's willing to go --; and what he's willing to compromise --; to secure her success. Mungiu's restrained style and sharp s ocial realism build a slow - burning tension, capturing a society where ethics are constantly tested by pragmatism. Adrian Titieni delivers a nuanced performance as a man who wants the best for his child, even as he sinks into a mire of quiet desperation and moral ambiguity. Graduation is not only a powerful family drama but also a reflection on the legacy of systemic dysfunction in post - communist Europe, where the personal and political are inextricably linked.
Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Kayla Fine.
