2022-06-11 21:12
The film "Aferim!" makes a sharp and shocking criticism of the cruel oppression suffered by the Gypsies in history. This "Romanian Western" takes the audience through an almost forgotten time and zone, full of style and profound excavation. The film combines artistic expression with narrative, showing the cruelty and absurdity of Romanian slavery in the 19th century. The strong atmosphere and unique setting are the icing on the cake. Radu Jude always keeps the camera and the characters at a certain distance, so the film appears more objective and prudent

The Priest: Each nation has its purpose. The Jews, to cheat, the Turks, to do harm, us Romanians to love and suffer like Christ. And each has their habits. Hebrews reads a lot, Greeks talks a lot, Turks has many wives, Arabs has many teeth, Germans smokes a lot, Hungarians eats a lot, Russians drinks a lot, English thinks a lot, French likes fashion a lot, Armenians are lazy, Circassians wears much lace, Italians lies a lot, Serbians cheats a lot, Gypsies get beaten! Gypsies must be slaves.
