Cube favourite Radu Jude’s razor-sharp blend of dark satire and social critique is a bleak, biting look at justice, complicity, and the quiet collapse of empathy in modern Europe.

In Cluj-Napoca, bailiff Orsolya is tasked with evicting a homeless man from a cellar. What seems routine unravels into chaos, exposing the absurd cruelty of bureaucracy resulting in a moral crisis that she tries to solve as best she can.

Impressively shot with an iPhone 15, and featuring a standout performance by Eszter Tompa, Kontinental '25 won the Silver Bear for Best Screenplay at the 2025 Berlin International Film Festival.

★ ★ ★ ★ "Jude’s film-making has such energy and punch" The Guardian

"A smart, scathing masterwork about our modern madness" The Daily Beast

“Atop its devastating human portraiture, Kontinental ’25 functions as a snapshot of a city as fragmented and anguished as Rossellini’s Rome: Jude’s take on neo-realism, if you will, for an absurdist age.” Guy Lodge - Variety
