Sunday at Six /Duminica la ora 6
Series: Shining Through a Long, Dark Night: Romanian Cinema, Then and Now [April 16-April 27]
Director: Lucian Pintilie, Country: Romania, Release: 1965, Runtime: 102

With its jagged chronology and star-crossed lovers, Lucian Pintilie’s astonishing debut feature ushered the style and look of European modernist cinema into Romania. Radu (Dan Nutu), a young militant in the years before the communist accession to power, falls in love with another member of the communist underground, Anca (Irina Petrescu). The Party higher-ups are against the liaison, but their love won’t be denied—eventually putting them and the movement in danger. Moving between the film’s present and Radu’s memories of what happened on that particular Sunday at six o’clock, the film is an affecting look at the clash of hopes and dreams with the grim reality of political engagement.
