La Gomera – La Nouvelle Vague est morte, vive la Nouvelle Vague!
For a cinema phenomenon that has broken barriers through the radicalism of its discourse - aesthetic and thematic - the New Romanian Wave, seen as a quasi-spontaneous phenomenon by which the Romanian cinema adopted a cinematic language of Bazinian origin (see Gorzo), almost 20 years (or 15, depending on who you ask) from its beginning, is decisively on the verge of ending. And the best hint in this regard is almost entirely represented by La Gomera, Corneliu Porumboiu's latest film, which debuted on Saturday night in the Official Competition of the Cannes Film Festival.
