Ultra-contemporary and entirely unique, Radu Jude’s anarchic film takes aim at late capitalism and internet culture with a mischievous swipe. As a dogged gig worker with an outrageous alter-ego, actor and content creator Ilinca Manolache gives a powerhouse performance in this award-winning satire.

As sharp as a knife’s blade, Radu Jude’s short visually quotes Sergei Eisenstein’s Soviet classic Battleship Potemkin to dissect the paradoxes of the present. Holding no punches, darkly comic musings on cinema and memory expose the sheer absurdity of artmaking under bureaucratic authorities.

Who else but Radu Jude could have brought together 19th-century lithographs, Russian film theory, and… Gwyneth Paltrow’s infamous scented candles? And all in under 10 minutes! Fusing visual pranks with social commentary, this mischievous game of free association tickles the brain hilariously.
