Cristian Mungiu's quotes
- [on Beyond the Hills (2012)] I am speaking about people who are condemned from Moment 1. There's nothing much for them to do in life.
- [on the Romanian New Wave] In the years following 2000, a new generation of filmmakers emerged, who had studied film after the fall of communism, and they had a clear penchant for realism. [2013]
- [on Beyond the Hills (2012)] It speaks about a certain way of understanding religion, which I don't consider to be just local. Anybody understanding religion in an extreme way is the same for me. It's about ideology.[2013]
- I started as a filmmaker by wanting to be funny and surprising. Later on I discovered I also wanted to be true and sincere. Now I want to be more visual and emotional. [Berlinale Talents, 2004]
