![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A Story From Ferentari by Ivana Mladenovic, co-written with Adrian Schiop – the author of the book that provides the story for this film – delicately treats just such a case of intersectionality: in an atmosphere of typical Ferentari virility, Adi, a 40 year old man working on his doctor’s degree, with a thesis on Manele, begins a relationship with 35 year old Alberto, a Roma man who has spent half his life behind bars. Even more rare are such scenes containing characters that belong to different social classes and different ethnic groups and gay characters. In the last 20 years of Romanian Cinema, although there have been frequent couples being shown on screen, there have been seldom any intimate scenes that really evoke the complex relationship between the two people, the power dynamic between them, the shadow of the things left unsaid. ![]()
