Radu Jude's 'Dracula' is a wildly inventive, three-hour film that uses AI and digital effects to explore the themes of history, culture, and technology, blending absurdity with sharp social commentary, and emphasizing that the vampire myth and AI both reflect society's ongoing hunger and exploitation.
Radu Jude's latest film, "Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World," is a freewheeling black-comic road picture that delves into the madness of our time through the story of Angela, an underpaid production assistant navigating the chaos of Bucharest. Shot in high-contrast black and white, the film offers a keen, roving eye on Romania's societal failings and the exploitation by richer countries, while also exploring the creation and impact of images. Touching on a wide range of contemporary issues, the film serves as a reflection of the way we live now, capturing the emotional struggle of a character caught in an oppressive system.
