Iulian Postelnicu: “Negative characters are more convincing”
Until we draw our conclusions about the 2019 Romanian cinema, one thing is certain: by playing the frightening character of Vali in Arest, Iulian Postelnicu offers the strongest interpretation of the year. From acting studies at UNATC, in the class of Dem Radulescu, about who he says had "a colossal culture and phenomenal pedagogical talent", and poorly paid stand-up shows, to making a mockery of Victor Ponta in sketches on Pro TV and the first consistent roles in cinema, in One floor below (2015), by Radu Muntean, and now in Arest (2019), by Andrei Cohn, Iulian Postelnicu followed an atypical route.
