THE MARSHAL'S TWO EXECUTIONS

The film confronts two different views of the execution of General Ion Antonescu, Romania’s leader during the Second World War.

The pendulum of ideology keeps on swinging in Radu Jude’s short, inspired by Sergei Eisenstein’s dialectical montage. Interweaving first-hand footage with a fictional retelling of a famous execution, this visual séance of Romania’s past tackles cinema’s complicity in obscuring historical truths.
