Cristian Mungiu paints a very simplistic portrait of racism on ‘RMN’

Roman Cristian Mungiu uses his cinema to solve big problems. In the movie ‘4 months, 3 weeks and two days’ (2007), which won the Palme d’Or, abortion was talked about; ‘Beyond the Hills’ (2012) was about religious fanaticism; ‘Exams’ (2016) denounced systemic corruption. And the fiction he’s back to race this year Cannes, ‘NMR’also It touches on a very serious subject, xenophobiaand for that, he portrays a town whose residents take their inner fascist for a walk as soon as the local bakery company hires Sri Lankan workers.

Racism is bad, every honest person knows that. And that consensus works against Mungiu. If his best works use narratives that move against time to pose formidable moral problems, ‘NMR’ does not present us with a dilemma to solve. It’s a very simple movie, and all the plots and symbolic elements that the director has included in the movie don’t make it more complicated, but more confusing.

In every situation, ‘RMN’ gains a lot compared to ‘Frère et soeur’, which targets La Palma. French Arnaud Desplechin A director with an extraordinary talent for tact and delicacy, yet mired in a creative crisis for years, that doesn’t make it easy to understand what he was thinking as he wrote this story about a brother and sister who hate each other. dead – why is never explained, the only plausible reason is that they are both intolerable people-; words fail to describe levels of pretentiousness, hysteria, and pretentiousness The movie flaunts as you watch them, but in any case, the most annoying thing about it is the scene in what should have been the climax, where the audience is betrayed as a practical joke.
