Blue Moon. Forms of Resistance

3 March, 2022

Blue Moon is the feature-film debut of actress and scriptwriter Alina Grigore, known for her roles in Best Intentions (2011) and Illegitimate (2016), the latter of which she also wrote together with director Adrian Sitaru. In Blue Moon, the pièce de résistance is the performance of protagonist Irina (Ioana Chițu), a young woman who wants to pursue studies in Bucharest, but cannot overcome the resistance of her family. To summarize the film thusly doesn’t do it any justice, because Grigore carefully and mysteriously arranges several narrative pathways that intersect with Irina’s.
