corneliu porumboiuRETROSPECTIVEIn a recent article flagging 20 Directors to Watch inThe <strong>New</strong> York Times, A.O. Scott wrote, “Mr. Porumboiuis a master of the long static shot, the wearyargument and the deadpan existential joke. He fixeshis camera on the struggles of minor potentatesand midlevel functionaries – a TV host in 12:08; adetective and his bosses in Police, Adjective; a moviedirector in Evening Falls on Bucharest, or Metabolism– and divines the secrets of his society, and ofour vain, pathetic species, in the smallest details ofspeech and behavior.” Besides his widely awardedand critically acclaimed feature films, it’s always rewardingto go back in time and search for more clues.This retrospective also offers a chance to see three ofPorumboiu’s short films in order to fully understandhis personal style and vision about cinema.20See also CLOSING NIGHT SELECTION (page 7):When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism followed byQ&A with Corneliu Porumboiu
