Sinopsis(1)
Narra la historia de una profesora de secundaria que debe hacer frente al rechazo y los ataques de quienes le rodean cuando se filtra en Internet un vídeo pornográfico protagonizado por ella. Dividida en tres episodios y mezclando géneros, la película incluye una parte central independiente a modo de diccionario de conceptos leídos desde una corrosiva mirada externa. (Filmin)

Durante la primera parte, pensé que se trataba de una película triste y estúpida, a pesar de que noté los aspectos sociales y la crítica en el interminable paseo por Bucarest. Definitivamente no aspira a ser la ciudad más hermosa de Europa, pero sin duda invita a la crítica social. La segunda parte pertenece a la categoría de la alternativa, el experimento, o incluso, la creatividad, y disipó mis preocupaciones iniciales. Luego llegó la tercera parte, que me conquistó y gracias a ella le doy cuatro estrellas con los ojos entrecerrados. Fue una grotesca, una sátira mordaz, un drama psicológico. Tal vez el propio Radu Jude estaba indeciso y por eso llegó a hacer un final así. En cualquier caso, la tercera parte requiere que el espectador tenga un buen conocimiento de literatura, historia y referencias cinematográficas, de lo contrario no la disfrutará, y la mayoría de nosotros en la República Checa no tenemos demasiado conocimiento sobre Rumanía. Veo una ligera conexión con la película checa Mistakes de Prušinovský y la presencia de Petra Nesvačilová también es evidente. Puedo imaginar perfectamente la tercera parte y la discusión en Eslovaquia, Polonia, Bulgaria, Hungría... De hecho, los rumanos no me han decepcionado, ¡la cinematografía rumana merece ser seguida!

Un polvo desafortunado o porno loco es una película que desafía los estándares convencionales de evaluación y me parece casi inapropiado darle cualquier etiqueta. Una reflexión sociopolítica en tres actos, el primero de los cuales podría describirse como una versión dinámica de Google Street View, el segundo como un ensayo documental sobre 100+1 temas, y el tercero como una polémica alborotada sobre el controvertido núcleo de la trama de la película. Tiene algunas ideas que invitan a la reflexión y el humor bizarro funciona en algunos momentos, pero la extraña estructura no acabó de funcionar para mí y, sobre todo en el primer tercio, hizo que el público lo pasara bastante mal.

At its core, this a classic morality tale whose carnivalesque ending exposes the true characters of several hypocrites in response to one female teacher’s “internet bunga bunga”. It thus scores hits on targets that are so slow-moving that it is almost impossible to miss them. However, Radu Jude attacks social and narrative conventions with such a sense of absurdity and such vigour not seen in Eastern and Central European cinema since perhaps the films of Dušan Makavejev and other filmmakers of the Yugoslav Black Wave. ___ Jude approaches nudity and sexuality with a similar matter-of-factness as in the Romanian film Touch Me Not, whose poster hangs in the background of the opening sex scene. Though the couple spice things up with masks, dirty talk and leather whips, this is rather ordinary domestic sex, in which there is nothing disturbing, despite the events that follow. Much more offensive things happen on the streets of Bucharest in the opening part of the film, where vulgarisms and the sexualisation of women are a terrifyingly common part of life in the city. ___ The formalistic open-mindedness of the film’s three stylistically different chapters reflects the communicational impotence of the characters, who are incapable of listening to each other due to their age, class or religious differences, as well as the inwardness of their intellectually limited worlds. At the same time, a certain unkemptness, resulting from the rapid filming, amplifies the urgency of Jude’s critique. It is not a precise analysis of social conditions, but rather an angry eclectic shot at the viewers, who, perhaps only by silently observing, are in part responsible for the fact that negligible peccadillos distract from serious crimes and contribute to the division of society; that external appearances (in the form of a polished statue in a schoolyard, for example) are given precedence over internal values; that sexism, racism and nationalism are displacing democratic ideals. It is impossible to remain indifferent in the face of this barrage of seemingly empty observational shots (which actually overflow with meaning), unexpected connections, erect penises and quotes from Benjamin, Brecht, Eco, Kracauer and Kundera. Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn is an ideal film for this age of apathy and probably the funniest winner of the Golden Bear. 85%

The excellent Radu Jude follows in the footsteps of his previous film “I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians” and once again harshly punishes Romanian society; and he makes us again shudders at how much of what we see can be applied to Czech reality. The film is basically about how the morally dull people who – at least according to Jude – make the majority of post-communist Romania are mentally incapable of distinguishing right from wrong and important from unimportant, and operate according to the formal morality of the nineteenth century or so. So the film presents a bunch of prudish morons, including a briber, a green brain from the army, a racist, a homophobe, a holocaust denier, an anti-Russian, and a conspiracy theorist, who blast a poor teacher who dared (imagine that!) to make a sex-tape with her husband, and you are immediately reminded of how Czech supporters of the biggest political trash persistently overlook the greatest moral sludge imaginable, but always reliably start complaining about lack of respect when someone writes that president Miloš Zeman is a treasonous whore – they only recognise the ugly word and that’s as far as their moral compass will go.

A supposedly intelligent film where logic is hard to find. The movie is divided into three parts. The first follows the style of the modern Romanian wave, with the camera focused on a teacher's daily routine — walking to work, walking home — almost like it's spying on her from the street. I'm used to this style in Romanian films, and sometimes I even expect it. The second part lists various interesting facts — sometimes funny, sometimes illogical, sometimes sexual. And the third part? Completely off the rails. I didn't understand it at all.

Bad Luck Banging is a more intellectual, craftier and, in its work with form and concept, more anarchic How To with John Wilson, but instead of freewheeling New York storytelling, the depraved decadence of Bucharest stands out in a blend of documentary, theatrical and narrative approaches as if Radu Jude materialised not only his corona browsing history ranging from inessential facts and thought-provoking trivia through the weeds of autistic discussion-forum rants to porn.

Somewhere recently I was joking that a period fresco shot in the Aleksei German method, i.e. a seemingly incoherent chaotic jumble of scenes full of half-crazed characters, is impossible to film in today's boring pragmatic environment. Lol, what an arrogant complainer I am. In reality, just set the camera on any spot in Bucharest and things happen. The first two thirds of the film are absolutely divine Bethlehem, partly because it’s still a film. It's not until the third act that it turns into a theatre of caricatures, where everyone is already sort of obligatorily chuckling because it's just a materialized gehenna of conflicting opinions on social media. And yet Radu Jude just can't master that "constructive, positive satire", and his resignation to Romanian society (which is practically the same as ours, sorry) will never even allow him to master it. And that's just as well. Except all I could do is stare for two hours at a woman walking through Bucharest where everyone is completely messed up. But they've got big cars. "Mathematics tells us what would happen if everything could be."
