Romanian New Wave
The Romanian New Wave ( ro, Noul val românesc) is a genre of realist and often minimalist films made in Romania since the mid- aughts, starting with two award-winning shorts by two Romanian directors, namely Cristi Puiu's ''Cigarettes and Coffee'', which won the Short Film Golden Bear at the 2004 Berlin International Film Festival, and Cătălin Mitulescu's '' Trafic'', which won the Short Film Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival later that same year. Themes Aesthetically, Romanian New Wave films share an austere, realist and often minimalist approach. Furthermore, black humour tends to feature prominently. While several of them are set in the late 1980s, near the end of Nicolae Ceaușescu's totalitarian rule over communist Romania, exploring themes of freedom and resilience ('' 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days'', ''The Paper Will Be Blue'', ''The Way I Spent the End of the World'', ''Tales from the Golden Age''), others, however ('' The Death of Mr. Lăzărescu'', '' Califor ...

2010s Prison Drama Films
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by  2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following  0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the ...

Where some celebrate the former genius of the system to explain an earlier day’s proliferation of fine movies, now the system is something of a blunderer that often flings itself into follies or even crushes inspiration under its weight, but sometimes gets carried away, for reasons good or bad, and hands surprising control of vast resources over to a ...
