Winner of the Golden Bear for the best film at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival, Romanian filmmaker Radu Jude’s strong and uncompromising satire is a relentless attack on prejudice and hypocrisy. 

Divided into three parts and produced under lockdown, Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn is what Jude describes as a ‘sketch for a popular film’. The first part follows Emi (Katia Pascariu), a history teacher, as she walks through the COVID-emptied streets of Bucharest – while a private sex tape she made with her husband escapes on to the internet. Following part two, a distinct dictionary of ‘anecdotes, signs, and wonders’, the third part sees Emi face an absurdist parents’ tribunal that becomes an exercise in misogyny and racism.
