Summary/Abstract: While the Revolution of the 1989 brought about a great change in the political life of Romania, it took more than a decade for this change to reach the cinema. The genuine and straightforward style of the yound talents who appeared around 2000 restored a kind of realism that was strictly robidden in the previous political era. The creators of the Romanian New Wave, like Cristi Puiu, Cristian Mungiu, Corneliu Porumboisu, Radu Jude use this realism to tell us about the past and present of Romania. They explain the corruption of society through the weakening bonds in the family; hence most of their films focus on the relationship between parent and child.
