Lorber Films Set ‘Tuesday, After Christmas’ Well After Christmas

On the eve of it’s North American NYFF premiere, Lorber Films have scooped up the rights to Tuesday, After Christmas, and are setting it up with a May release (at the Film Forum). For those who might be wondering why the portrait is showing in May, and say, not December, is because the Cannes-selected film isn’t a holiday-themed picture but instead, a marriage drama.

Directed by Radu Muntean, the film contains some impressive performances from actresses Mirela Oprisor and Maria Popistasu and I personally thought was a several grades better than Muntean’s previous picture Boogie. In my review I mentioned that “Muntean refrains from taking a moral stance and is more curious about what a cerebral, adulterous behaviour looks and feels like, it is in the poignant announcement sequence that is the cherry of the film — we are treated to a long take that culminates in years of one’s life lost in one snap statement.”
