Consciousness and spirituality in New Romanian Cinema

Representations of the individual, family and collective groups within New Romanian Cinema reveal the nation’s social, political and psychological transformations, as well as its values and beliefs in times of intense transition. Focusing on Behind the Hills (Cristian Mungiu, 2012) and Sieranevada (Cristi Puiu, 2016), this article analyses the new cinema’s dual position (apolitical yet engaged) and reflection on such aspects as religion, ideology and globalization; it emphasizes mechanisms of identity (trans)formation, the shaping of global citizenship and the shifts in public discourses, such as film, to continue to engage individuals and groups in social debate and events.
