Radu jude

@realJackEason thank you! not sure I have the energy to post something systematically

@radujude Welcome. You are one of the great chroniclers of this current era so it's kind of surprising you're not on here more but also, it's probably good you're not because this is not a good place to be.

Fun learning Radu Jude has a Twitter account he uses only for dropping selective replies like this (from Jan 5, 2023)...

@vjmfilms @mubicanada haha, ok, well, I would prefere not to :)

@radujude @mubicanada Certification would be an official notice from a social-media provider that it has certified that “radu jude” is actually the director of numerous contemporary film classics and not some rando in Targu Mures.

Hi all! I'm Adam Nayman (@brofromanother) and I've been asked to tweet for @mubicanada for the next two hours to celebrate the streaming premiere of Radu Jude's superb DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM THE END OF THE WORLD

@vjmfilms @mubicanada Oh, I guess it is a much longer answer, on short it was just the necessity to touch certain topics for which I felt a traditional narrative technique is not working.

@radujude @mubicanada On the assumption I’m talking to the actual director … what caused you to switch from the neo-realistic style of something like EVERYBODY IN OUR FAMILY to your last few films that are like Godardian essays.

@vjmfilms @mubicanada I don't use twitter much. No idea what is a certification, btw.

@radujude @mubicanada well not really … also my poor eye for faces. Are you THE Radu Jude? If so, why is there no certification?

@mubicanada Thank you! Plus the band Pasărea Colibri doing Bob Dylan covers. Here's Blowin' in the Wind: youtube.com/watch?v=83W0z4…

For anybody just tuning into this 2-hour @mubicanada takeover in celebration of the streaming premiere DO NOT EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM THE END OF THE WORLD, Radu Jude has shared pictures of Donald Trump, Vlad the Impaler and a cat and chosen Highway 61 as his favourite Dylan album

Over the next two hours, I want to share some thoughts about DNETM, as well as on Jude's other features and shorts; I've also been promised that @radujude will drop by for some trolling.

@vjmfilms @mubicanada this only shows my incompetence!!!

@mubicanada @radujude It was more than an hour into the movie when I realized the TikTok dude was the driver in online disguise

@mubicanada well, many of them, I would choose conventionally Highway 61. But we have a pretty popular cover-band doing sometimes Dylan's versions like Mr Tambourine Man: youtube.com/watch?v=SCugJE…

Another question for @radujude pertitent to the movie's collage of influences; do you have a favourite Bob Dylan record? Let's say you can name two.

@mubicanada A photo from a scene which din't work - Angela trying to apply the Bobiță filter on a cat

@mubicanada Maybe. Because Romanian language is richer in profanities, it seems. Like "Fuck your dead mother's relatives!" is a regular curse, but translated literally wouldn't it sound weird?

Another question for @radujude: at TIFF the rumor was that Bobita's monologues were far more profane than the subtitles allowed for. True or false?

Probably the most movie indelible character of the year so far is Bobita, the vulgar alter ego of Angela (Ilinca Manolache); a filter without a filter (pictured with master filmmaker Uwe Boll)

@mubicanada on the right is Vlad the Impaler, I didn't photograph him well, but I compensate with this meme:

@radujude he fits in with all the other faces so nicely

@mubicanada One of my ideal double bills would be to show Zone of Interest by Glazer + Auschwitz by Uwe Boll

@mubicanada I like his personality and his drive. I like Assault on Wall Street and he told me about his first two features which I have yet to see - they seem pretty experimental

I also thought it would be good to share some interviews with @radujude himself, as he's very entertaining.

@mubicanada some context: our extreme-right wing party is using Trump as an endorser for their campaign

@mubicanada hi from Bucharest:

@intothecrevasse @brofromanother @mubicanada oh, I admire him too much, i d rather be against myself for sure!.

@radujude @brofromanother @mubicanada Torch his ass Radu

Hey all: in one hour I’ll be taking over @mubicanada’s feed for a couple of hours to talk about Radu Jude’s great new movie and other things; come say hi!

@JonathanLKrohn @timsquirrell I am here to serve. (Btw, there is a mention of him in my new film, shot in September and now in postproduction)

@timsquirrell I really wish Radu Jude had a Twitter account. 🤌
