Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World

  • The black & white head of a woman appears between 2 buildings
  • A bald-headed person with their mouth open and right hand raised.

From Golden Bear winner Radu Jude, Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World takes a fierce and darkly comic swipe at modern day life. Overworked and underpaid production assistant Angela (Ilinca Manolache) is assigned to film a workplace safety video for a multinational corporation in Bucharest. When one of the interviewees makes a statement that ignites a scandal, Angela has to re-invent the story. Featuring appearances from Nina Hoss, Uwe Boll, and Angela’s TikTok alter-ego Bobiță, Jude’s anarchic satire is a wild and unforgettable ride through the vulgar indignities of the 21st century.
