Summary:

The rise of the New Romanian Cinema in a postcommunist country without a particularly vigorous film tradition has puzzled critics and audiences alike. Its roots have been traced to Cristi Puiu's rebellion against his compatriots' outdated assumption that cinema is an instrument of propaganda, denunciation, or entertainment. A detailed analysis of Puiu's work, this work underscores the gradual evolution of his approach to cinema as a form of silent witnessing and a means of personal investigation and revelation.
