Don’t Expect Too Much From the End of the World – The Living and The Dead
For the first time since 2017, when he unveiled The Dead Nation (a documentary on the Romanian Holocaust) in the Signs of Life section, Radu Jude returns with a feature film to Locarno, this time in the main competition – with the second-longest film of his career, (surpassed in length only by his 2020 documentary The Exit of the Trains), Don't Expect Too Much From the End of the World: a sharp continuation of the explorations that he opened up in Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, both in terms of social critique and of a deeper reflection on the nature of images and montage.
