Muntean Treads Familiar Themes with Tuesday, After Christmas

Radu Muntean’s Cannes entry Boogie, saw popular Romanian actor Dragos Bucur take on the role of the husband who after a a quarrel with the wife, hooks up with some old buddies and loses focus for an evening. Variety reports that Muntean’s next feature will touch upon similar themes of guilt and “choices”.

Scripted by Muntean, Alexandru Baciu and Razvan Radulescu, Tuesday, After Christmas will start shooting in November (they probably need some snow). Set one week before Christmas, “Tuesday” focuses on marital crisis — that of Paul and Adriana, who’ve been married for 10 years and have an 8-year-old daughter. Paul decides to leave his wife for his mistress. He informs his wife, who gives him until the Tuesday after Christmas to tell his daughter.. Currently, Bucur is working on Peter Weir’s The Way Back, but by all logic should take the lead role.
