“A brilliantly audacious, fiercely political poke in the eye to conventional cinema.  I loved every enraging minute of it.”—Wendy Ide, Observer

From Golden Bear winner Radu Jude, Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World takes a fierce and darkly comic swipe at modern day life. Jude’s scathing, side-splitting take-down of gig culture, capitalism, and international exploitation is ambitious in scope and even includes a couple surprising swipes at Kentucky.

In the film, overworked and underpaid production assistant Angela (Ilinca Manolache) is assigned to film a workplace safety video for a multinational corporation in Bucharest. When one of the interviewees makes a statement that ignites a scandal, Angela has to re-invent the story.

Featuring appearances from Nina Hoss, Uwe Boll, and Angela’s TikTok alter-ego Bobiță, Jude’s anarchic satire is a wild and unforgettable ride through the vulgar indignities of the 21st century.

2023, Romania/Luxemburg/France/ Croatia, DCP, in Romanian, English, German, Hungarian, and Italian with English subtitles, 163 minutes.  Recommended for 17+.
