Dorian Boguța and Irina Rădulescu, on The Legacy

4 March, 2020

The Legacy has just opened in Romanian cinemas - Dorian Boguța's directorial debut. The prolific actor, closely associated with the New Romanian Cinema has worked on a few short films in the past, and his feature-length debut draws upon a painful personal experience, along with policier and New Wave influences, to tell the story of the disappearance of Anton, a gifted musician who had been mired in a variety of personal problems, most of them surrounding his sister, Ana (played by Irina Rădulescu). We sat down with the director and the main actress to discuss the structure of the film and its influences, and about how Boguță's vast experience in acting influenced his work methods, among other topics.
