Romanian film on The New York Times list of best movies of 2024
<p>Romanian director Radu Jude's <i>Nu Aștepta Prea Mult de la Sfîrșitul Lumii/Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World </i>made it to the list of the Best Movies of 2024 drawn up by film critics Manohla Dargis and Alissa Wilkinson and published by The New York Times.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Romanian film is fourth on the list, after <i>All We Imagine as Light</i> (directed by Payal Kapadia), <i>Ernie Gehr: Mechanical Magic</i>, and <i>A Real Pain </i>(Jesse Eisenberg).</p>

<p>"An exhilarating, vulgarly funny, sometimes exasperating jolt, Jude's latest tracks Angela — a charismatic Ilinca Manolache — as she motors through Bucharest. For much of the movie, she is behind the wheel of her jalopy, a home away from home, or interviewing badly injured people as potential cautionary tales for a workplace safety video commissioned by a multinational corporation. As she racks up miles, traversing a world where capitalism and the ghosts of communism converge, the movie touches on Romania's past and present, the East and the West, high culture and exceedingly low. It's a wild ride!" - writes Manohla Dargis about Radu Jude's film.</p>
