When push comes to shove, the Transilvania Intl. Film Festival has always prided itself on pushing the envelope, preferring to err on the side of provocation where other fests might choose to play it safe. That mentality has been encoded into the fest’s DNA since its beginnings in the tumultuous post-Communist era, when civil liberties and artistic freedom were still far from guaranteed in the newly democratic Romania.
Yet after a turbulent period of unprecedented disruption, brought on first by the coronavirus pandemic and then by the widespread humanitarian and economic crises spurred by Russia’s invasion of neighboring Ukraine, even TIFF founder Tudor Giurgiu admits, “These were tough years.” The temptation might have been there to tinker with a formula that has made the festival such a success for the past two decades.

There was a filmmaker called Ion Popescu-Gopo, but he was Romanian, and so his name probably doesn't imply any such predisposition, but he did make at least one comedy science fiction film, the wordless S-a Furat O Bomba, or A Bomb Was Stolen, in 1961. So there.
A graphic artist turned animator turned feature director (this was his debut), Popescu-Gopo displays his training at every opportunity, especially in the film's stunning opening sequence, set amid a featureless plain of infinite expanse (but actually a hillside, I guess, enabling characters and vehicles to abruptly appear over the horizon instead of gradually expanding out of it). Our hero, a young chap in a suit, is...
