When Angela, an overworked production assistant who must drive around the city of Bucharest in order to film the casting for a corporation’s workplace safety video, encounters Marian, a half paralyzed worker, she discovers that his work related accident is due to the company’s negligence. When his statement ignites a scandal, he must re-invent his story to suit the company’s narrative. True to form, Romanian filmmaker Radu Jude’s DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM THE END OF THE WORLD is a dizzying cinematic landscape where capitalism and technology meet the political sociology of the post totalitarian digital world.
In Romanian with English subtitles.
