'Kontinental '25' Review: A Transylvanian Bailiff Tries to Ease Her Guilty Conscience in Radu Jude's Droll and Biting iPhone Comedy
Briefly

Radu Jude's film 'Kontinental '25' offers a poignant examination of neoliberalism's moral complexities, filtered through the experiences of a well-meaning woman. Though shot simply with an iPhone, the film confronts the absurdities of contemporary society. Jude has a history of stirring social commentary in his films, and while drawing from an incidentally powerful Bertolt Brecht quote, he navigates the depths of kindness amid the failures of a broken system. The film serves as a compact yet impactful exploration within the broader context of Jude’s artistic repertoire.
Jude's movement from intimate narratives to broader social critiques reflects a shifting perspective on morality and the complexity of human behavior.
