As it is the case every year, the statistic of the feature films premiered in 2015 proves indicatory for the heartbeat of Romanian cinema in relation to its audience. There were 17 premieres, and the first 10 brought 225,079 viewers to theatres. Also like every year, such cumulative figure is much below the one registered by the best feature in the general top – Fast and Furious with 651,000 viewers. The most viewed Romanian feature is, as expected, Aferim! (76,693 viewers) ranking 67th. A good ranking if we consider previous years, when we could not get a place within the first 100 premieres of the year.The said feature by Radu Jude is closely followed by the one made by Tudor Giurgiu, De ce eu?(Why Me?),with 65,507 admissions.
About the significance of this top and its configuration, we sat down with the film reviewer Florin Barbu for a friendly-professional talk.
