About R.M.N.
After quitting his blue-collar job in Germany, a father returns to his home village in Romania where he finds a town struggling and a son who no longer speaks after seeing “something in the woods.” With R.M.N., director Cristian Mungiu delivers a gripping portrait of ethnic and economic resentments tearing at the fabric of a small mountain town. [125 min; drama; Romanian with English subtitles]
A Q&A with Colton Ames (Institute for European Studies) and Maria Bucur (John W. Hill Chair of East European History, Dept. of History) will follow the screening. This event is co-sponsored by the Russian and East European Institute.
"A fascinating slow burn that feels urgent." — Claudia Puig, FilmWeek
"Unusually insightful exposé of Europe's racial and tribal divides from Romanian auteur Cristian Mungiu." — James Verniere, Boston Herald
"R.M.N. is as gripping and scrupulously humane as Mungiu’s admirers have come to expect from an artist of supreme discipline and dramatic skill." — Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
