  • Mircea Daneliuc – Proba de microfon AKA Microphone Test (1980)

    1971-1980DramaMircea DaneliucRomania

    An uncompromising and prolific auteur whose battles with censorship during the Communist era are legendary, Mircea Daneliuc doubles as director and star of Microphone Test, a pivotal film in Romanian cinema and a direct reference point for the future New Wave.

Unemployed and without a fixed address, Ani is the quintessential undesirable, an outcast in a society rigidly controlled by state-imposed morals.
