BAD LUCK BANGING OR LOONY PORN

“[ Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn ] is a real achievement, though not one that makes for easy or comfortable viewing. Emi, in the last scenes of “Bad Luck Banging,” reluctantly becomes almost a Joan of Arc figure, a would-be martyr for sanity and reason facing down hypocrites, bigots and slut-shamers. Pascariu’s performance, always quiet and understated (apart from those first three minutes), turns almost heroic as the movie approaches its frenzied, demoralizing conclusion.”

“One of European cinema’s most unclassifiable auteurs has delivered the bitter pill we deserve.”

“The film makes us laugh out loud and wince at the same time, and two days in, it is already one of my top films of this year’s edition.”
