Cristian Mungiu in a Variety Interview

     In a Variety interview, Cristian Mungiu speaks about his new project as a director, about the films that he produces and about his contribution to changing the European legislation
     “It`s the story of my grandmother and it will be a larger-scale film than anything I`ve done so far. It`s a war film set in the past, so the production needs a bit more time. I originally had written it as a book, so now I`m in this strange position of adapting my own unpublished book. In the `90s I took the time to spend a summer with my grandmother to write her story. I developed as a writer and came to filmmaking more as a writer than as a cinephile. I like to think that it`s her book, somehow. It`s difficult to turn it into a film, but now is the time to do it. it will be my most personal project.
