Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn – 7.5

A thrillingly different Eastern European film, this one from Romania with lots of blah shots of Bucharest and other social commentary. In Part 1 we meet the teacher, whose porn selfie with her husband has gotten loose on the Internet, as she wanders the streets, like Leopold Bloom in Ulysses. Part 2 I didn’t get, archival footage illustrating random words and phrases, very Romanian. Part 3 is the best Covid film I’ve seen, as masked and socially distanced parents debate the teacher’s job status, with polarization, misinformation, facts and prejudices in one wild cacophony. Seemingly filmed on an iPhone, the movie kept me wonderfully off-balance all the way.
