A tactile, elliptical polyphonic seance

A prickly, exquisitely textured and tonally adroit dramedy, oscillating between social critique and sad-sack character study. Colombia’s entry to the 2026 Oscars.

My first time directing TV. I directed Episode 6–“Revelation”—which precedes the finale.

Somehow the pièce de résistance of this film, amid its barrage of hyperliterary namechecks and coprolalia, is a callback to Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues. And when it comes up, it’s both riotous and annihilating. It’s the ULYSSES of Romanian cinema.
