Cristian Mungiu discusses moral ambiguity and moderator role in new film Fjord
Director Cristian Mungiu spoke with The Verge about his sixth feature, Fjord, which follows a Romanian religious family who relocate to rural Norway and face suspicion for their devout beliefs and strict parenting. The film, starring Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan, explores questions of discipline versus punishment and tolerance toward minorities, drawing on Mungiu's background in journalism and his experience living under Ceaușescu's regime.
