"Excellent Radu Jude satire and this release looks great. Radu is one of the most important working directors of our time and this is an essential, funny, shocking and educational film. It’s a lot of fun and the release has a nice interview and great essay booklet. Top notch"
"Nice release of an original and entertaining film. Presented well with an interview with the director as an extra."
"Damn what a ride! My first Radu Jude film after hearing about him alot the last couple years. This was quite the satire, it felt like a Goddard film but less trolly. Quite original and hilarious and one of the greatest endings ever in film. Great release too. I really enjoyed the interview with Radu Jude."
"Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn is a sharp, satirical Romanian drama that follows a schoolteacher whose leaked sex tape triggers a public scandal, forcing her into a chaotic confrontation with societal hypocrisy. It blends realism, essay‑style montage, and absurdist comedy to critique moral panic, prejudice, and the contradictions of modern life. The film uses Emi’s scandal as a lens to examine societal double standards, especially around sexuality, privacy, and public morality. Its bold structure—part realism, part essay, part farce"
"This film it top-notch satire. Radu Jude's style is one of true artistry. He does not stray from controversial topics, but it is clear he is an empathetic artist. I won't go much into this film. In it, you'll find many things; Racism & Bigotry, Dark Humor, Mob Mentality, Graphic Un-simulated Sex. But this film is satire. The film looks and sounds fine, but the amount of special features is limited. Nice, but I wish for more. I am stoked to have been able to pick up one of the sweet slipcovers, a very nice addition. Film 9. 5/10 Release 7/10 tarts off with the sex tape being filmed, It is raw and uncensored, and although it is the majority of the nudi\there is more graphic nudity covid and masking public humiliation people making fun while casting judgement on a leaked sex tape mob mentality and the childish behavior it encourages unabashed racism and so many slurs"
"What a wild film. Glad I picked it up."
"First and foremost, what an immaculate slipcover. Radu Jude has balls of steel because I’ve never had a film that made me laugh yet also made me feel despondent at the same time. Incredible third act and ending."
"Radu Jude is one of my favorite directors and this film is probably the best of his to start with. Really happy to see the director's cut see the light of day here, which was previously really hard to find here in the US. Really cool slipcover art too."
"It’s like if Godard was wanted to open a movie with hardcore porn. Not bad! And great physical release as always!"
"Hilarious and unpredictable, this is a must-watch!! An absolute all-timer of an ending, too."
