The series of new Romanian productions presented at our Cinematheque resumes en force with the UK premiere of “Eastern Business” (Afacerea Est), the irresistibly funny, bittersweet comedy directed by Igor Cobileanski, which portrays two very different characters, a choir singer and a construction worker, drawn together by one absorbing goal: to make it big in business.
The film won the Jury Prize (for the Best Script and Best Actor) at the 2016 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival, one of the biggest film festivals of Northeastern Europe.
