The Forerunners: 'Reenactment' (1968)

Romanian Cultural Institute London

17 May 19.00 | RCI London, free 'REENACTMENT' (1968)
Considered by Romanian critics to be the best film in the history of the country’s cinema, 'Reenactment' is remarkable not only due to its artistic merits but also because of its position in the historical and political context, being both a brilliantly subversive film and a brave one. Regarded as one of Europe's finest filmmakers, Lucian Pintilie tells the story of two friends who, for educational purposes, are forced to reenact a crime they committed. Banned in 1970 shortly after its release and without having had an official premiere, 'Reenactment' stand out until today as a fierce criticism of repression, indifference to human dignity and misuse of power.
 
"Reenactment stands among the exemplary works of its region and time. Subtle, difficult and brave, it represents a powerful statement of artistic honesty in a culture of official lies and evasions." - New York Times
