Beyond the Hills was suggested by our member Chauncey Zhang, who writes: ‘Congratulations to Cristian Mungiu winning Palme’Or this year for the film Fjord. A retrospective of this brilliant directors or even Romanian New Wave is awaiting!! Personally, I look forward to seeing Beyond the Hills on the big screen. Thank you!’
Inspired by a real case of exorcism, Beyond the Hills is an all too believable portrait of dogma at odds with personal liberty in a society still emerging from the shadow of Communism.
A NYFF selection, multiple prizewinner in Cannes, and Romania’s official 2012 Oscar submission.
Please note, the screening on Thursday 8 October is our free members’ screening, whilst Wednesday 14 October is a regular screening, which is open to the general public.
