‘Fjord’ Palme D’Or Winner Cristian Mungiu Encourages Dialogue In Divided World: “Don’t Rush To Judge The Other”

Is Palme D’Or winner Christian Mungiu concerned that Fjord will incite outrage, even violence, from extremist political sides?

In its deconstruction of society and the prejudice that immigrants face, Fjord per critics could conceivably rub both liberals and conservatives the wrong way. Based on the experiences of a real-life Romanian family, Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve play Mihai and Lisbet Gheorghiu — immigrant parents of five children who move from Romania to Lisbet’s small Norwegian hometown. When a neighboring family spots bruises on the couple’s daughter, the Gheorghui family are torn apart by a child services investigation.
