Plot edit

The film is set in Wallachia in the early 19th century, when a local policeman, Costandin (played by Teodor Corban), is hired by Iordache, a boyar, to find Carfin (played by Toma Cuzin), a Roma slave who had run away from the boyar's estate after having an affair with his wife, Sultana.[7]

Cast edit

Production edit

While the structure and the narrative had little in common with existing Romanian literature, the dialogue is often based on works by Iordache Golescu [ro], Anton Pann, Ion Creangă, Budai-Deleanu and Nicolae Filimon.[8]

Reception edit

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 98% based on 76 critics, with an average rating of 7.9/10. The site's critics consensus reads: "Smart, visually arresting, and scathingly funny, Aferim! depicts a world that many American filmgoers have never seen – but will still, in many respects, find utterly familiar".[9] On Metacritic, the film have an above average score of 84 out of 100 based on 17 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[10]

Publication The Hollywood Reporter describes Radu Jude's film as "a harsh lesson of history, relieved by overlooked humor and classic Western elements". Variety magazine writes that Aferim! is "an exceptional and extremely intelligent insight into a crucial period of history, a film equally inspired and furious".[11]

According to Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian, "this [film] with all its full-frontal historical horror, is still loaded with laughs".[12]

A.O. Scott of The New York Times called Aferim! "brilliant" and "sublime",[13] while Kit Gillet of the same periodical went as far as calling it "an Oscar contender".[14]
