‘Japanese Dog’ by  Tudor Christian Jurgiu participates at Cambridge Film Festival.

Costache (played by veteran actor Victor Rebengiuc) picks up his life after a catastrophic flood in rural Romania. He finds himself driven to reconnect with his long since emigrated son and thus is finally introduced to his daughter-in-law and grandson. Rebenginc gives a wonderful performance, playing Costache with the perfect combination of stubbornness and tenderness, which becomes increasingly lovable as the film moves on. ‘Japanese Dog’ is a delicate film about family reconciliation.

‘Romanian cinema’s ability to explore big themes with minimal materials is reconfirmed in The Japanese Dog, a leisurely, lyric and clear-eyed study  of the changes in the life of an elderly man following the 2010 floods that devastated the northeast of the country’ (Hollywood Reporter).
