As he proved with his scandalous, scathing political comedy Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn (playing here at the Cinema Arts Centre on Tuesday, April 23 at 7:30pm), Romanian filmmaker Radu Jude is among the most radical filmmakers working today. Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World takes a fierce and darkly comic swipe at modern day life. Overworked and underpaid production assistant Angela (Ilinca Manolache) is assigned to film a workplace safety video for a multinational corporation in Bucharest. When one of the interviewees makes a statement that ignites a scandal, Angela has to re-invent the story. Featuring appearances from Nina Hoss, Uwe Boll, and Angela’s TikTok alter-ego Bobi?a, Jude’s anarchic satire is a wild and unforgettable ride through the vulgar indignities of the 21st century. Scabrously funny, provocatively topical, unashamedly oddball and often inspired, Jude’s sprawling, crazed but surprisingly coherent comedy skewers both today’s Romania and the West in general. (Romania, 2023, 163 min., color, Romanian with English subtitles, DCP)

“It captures what it’s like to live in this chaotic and deadening world so well it might be the movie of the year, and last year, and next year too.” -Sam Adams, Slate

“The movie crackles with brains, obscenity, political anger and jokes that had me laughing out loud.” – John Powers, NPR
