‘Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn’, the award-winning latest work by the Romanian filmmaker Radu Jude, which has already won the Silver Bear of the Berlin competition for ‘Aferim!’ (2015), is actually not one but three movies. Better: three, plus a bonus track, a homemade movie tape that presents us, fully naked, which will be the “common thread”, to call it in some way, of the rest of the plot. It’s about Emi, history teacher in a prestigious institute.
The video you recorded has inexplicably ended up uploaded to PornHub and with it, obscenity has penetrated – understand me – the Academy. Alarms are sounding before a society morally rooted in religious principles unspoken and unquestioned.
