'Fjord' by Cristian Mungiu, Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival: a clash of opposing worlds
A deeply religious Romanian evangelical family, newly settled in a small Norwegian town, comes up against the country's liberal principles and ultimately the justice system when the couple is suspected, without evidence, of child abuse.
Last May, the director decimated his second Golden Palme by pointing to the debunks of a Romanian evangelist family in Norway. Unclassifiable, his film questions our vision of secularism.
The palm of the Romanian Cristian Mungiu, through a controversial case of child protection in Norway in a traditionalist family, places a heavy burden on "progressism" and seems above all to confirm the fractures that she claims to question.
Fjord direction and screenplay: Christian Mundjiu country: Romania/France/Norway/Denmark/Finland/Sweden, in 2026
Winning return for Romanian Cristian Mungiu ("Four months, three weeks, two days") with this fine social and moral chronicle on suspicion and prejudice. With the impeccable Renate Reinsve and Sebastian Stan.
The Romanian filmmaker, rewarded by a second Palme d'or in Cannes in May, staged in "Fjord" a couple of evangelists suspected of child abuse. Even before the formal evidence, measures of placement in foster families are taken by the Aide à l'enfance.
