Grasshopper Film debuted the official for Întregalde, the Romanian thriller film directed by Radu Muntean which premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival. The thriller had its North American premiere at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival followed by a screening at the 2021 New York Film Festival.
Starring Maria Popistașu, Ilona Brezoianu, Alex Bogdan, Toma Cuzin and Gabor Bondi, the film follows a group of humanitarian aid workers in Romania whose trip to the village of Întregalde takes a bad turn after they pick up a strange old man who needs a ride.
Întregalde opens in theaters on March 18th, 2022.
In a gripping tale of best intentions gone wrong, leading Romanian filmmaker Radu Muntean (Tuesday, After Christmas) follows a trio of well-meaning aid workers from Bucharest on a food delivery mission to the rural hinterlands of the Întregalde area of Transylvania. Guided off the beaten path by an elderly villager looking for a local sawmill, they find themselves trapped in an unfamiliar, dangerous place and facing the outer limits of their goodwill for each other and for strangers. An inquiry into the contemporary humanitarian impulse that moves like a suspense thriller – but which never quite goes where you expect it to – Muntean’s film knowingly plays off and subverts conventions of both horror films and social realist drama.
