Keywords: Romanian New Wave; Hungarian Young/New Film; Radu Muntean; Szabolcs Hajdu; Attila Gigor
Summary/Abstract: Presupposing that historical and generational resemblances allow for a joint reading of their films, postcommunist Hungarian and Romanian (also nicknamed “New” and “New Wave”) directors’ films are examined (Radu Muntean, Szabolcs Hajdu, Attila Gigor). The proposal of allegorical reading is made, with specific filmic locuses highlighted as creating cinematic allegories out of (graphic) isolation and intermedial mixes.
