Tudor Jurgiu’s newest feature, And They May Still Be Alive Today, subscribes to the slippery tradition of contemporary films that insert a sliver of magic realism (and if it’s not consistent as is in the case of Guillermo del Toro, that might come across as lax or gratuitous). In Jurgiu’s case, it’s a love story between two protagonists that are bored to death, who are not necessarily head over heels in love but wouldn’t go to the trouble of breaking up either: it’s an intermittent, brittle relationship, the kind that breaks into pieces at the first gust of wind.
