Netflix + Romanian New Wave = ♥
On a simple search, it's amazing how many Romanian titles (from rather niched art films, such as Yet to Rule, to money-grab productions, like 5Gang) can be found on Netflix. Beyond the frivolous pleasure of watching a Romanian film on such a platform, I made a minimal selection of films representative of the New Romanian Wave - a kind of must for every cinephile who wants to reflect on contemporary Romanian cinema (and probably some of my favorites; hellas!, Police, Adjective is not in their collection).
