BOLD. HILARIOUS. ASTONISHING. A daring and hilarious cinematic gamble — and it’s also an unpredictable blast.” – Eric Kohn, IndieWire

“DELICIOUSLY DEMENTED. A taboo-busting polemical comedy refreshingly untroubled by tasteful restraint. Jude remains a boldly original voice in modern European cinema, with serious things to say and increasingly adventurous ways of saying them.” – Stephen Dalton, The Hollywood Reporter

“IT’S GOT BALLS. Defies all and any expectations.” – Ela Bittencourt, MUBI


WILD. AUDACIOUS. An angry, funny film.” – Edgar Wright (director, One Night in Soho)

“A batshit farce. See is on a big screen with an audience to bask in their outrage.” – Alex Winter (director/actor, Zappa, Bill & Ted Face the Music)

In Radu Jude’s (AFERIM!) provocative Golden Bear-winning comedy, schoolteacher Emi finds her career and reputation under threat after a personal sex tape is leaked on the Internet. Forced to meet the parents demanding her dismissal, Emi refuses to surrender to their pressure. Filmed entirely during Bucharest’s lockdown, BAD LUCK BANGING OR LOONY PORN delivers an incendiary mix of unconventional form, irreverent humor and scathing commentary on hypocrisy and prejudice in our societies. Romania’s Oscar® entry for Best International Feature Film.
