Produced during a dramaturgy workshop organized by The Theatre and TV University (Cluj-Napoca), Our Father is a Romanian short film directed by a young filmmaker who develops a realistic story, but doesn’t totally follow The New Romanian Wave path. An encounter by the side of the road is developed in a realistic style, and the well-written dialogues describe a world not often seen in Romanian short films.
Reviews:
“It is a generation without a reference, defined by lack of culture and materialism, that Sergiu Lupșe’s short film (produced during a dramaturgy workshop) speaks about” (Florian Rareș-Tileagă, agenda.liternet.ro).
Lines:
“I just need to call someone to come and pick me up. Please.
Got any money?”
“Yeah, that asshole left me on Dumbrăvii Street, as you exit the city. Second or third parking, don’t really know.”
“Fuck those cigarettes, they’ll just make you sick. And it’s a sin.”
