Model for an entire generation Lucian Pintilie, a creative genius, takes on the role of revealing the world as it is, with all its shadows and ambiguities, as depicted in his films through absurdity, grotesque or farcical elements. The artistic approach of director Lucian Pintilie becomes redemptory, aiming to foster responsibility and awaken a collective consciousness. Lucian Pintilie’s intellectual preoccupation provides solid study material for the creators of the New Wave in the Romanian cinema, both through his films and through the volume Bricabrac, which includes his directorial poetics.
