The Treasure
Director: Corneliu Porumboiu // Writer: Corneliu Porumboiu
One of the frontrunners of the Romanian New Wave thanks to his 2006 debut 12:08 East of Bucharest, Porumboiu has remained one of the most consistent members of the wave with successful followup films Police, Adjective (2011) and When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism (2013). Already snapped up by foreign sales co. Wild Bunch, this sounds like a bit of a departure so far, vaguely described as a film about two men and their various misadventures on a quest for treasure. With films that tend to revolve around eloquent, highly intelligent conversation, Porumboiu is well worthy of a slot on any lists of anticipation.
Cast: Toma Cuzin
Producers: 42km Film’s Corneliu Porumboiu, Les Films du Worso, Rouge International, Marcela Ursu (When Evening Falls on Bucharest or Metabolism).
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available.
Release Date: Filmed in October over a period of about a month,...
