The Crystal Globe for Best Feature Film at the 53rd Karlovy Vary International Film Festival went to the new endeavor of the recognised Romanian director Radu Jude –  “I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians”. The film produced by Ada Solomon in Romania, in co-production with the Czech Republic, France, Bulgaria and Germany, reconstructs a ghastly incident and ingeniously updates Hannah Arendt’s incisive work on the banality of evil. Employing an uncompromising narrative form à la Godard, it demonstrates that committing brutal acts is not only the path to barbarism, for even a mere stunted conscience is enough to lead a person to it.
