Radu Muntean is a prominent member of the new charge of Romanian filmmakers who have revolutionized cinema there over the past decade. As with many of his contemporaries, he’s known for using a restrained, clear-eyed visual style to tear open troubling undercurrents. Since his little-seen first feature, “The Rage” (2003), he has become the well-regarded director of “The Paper Will Be Blue” (set on the final night of the Romania Revolution in 1989) and Tuesday, “After Christmas,” a hit of both the Cannes and New York Film Festivals in 2010.
