Emi, a school teacher, finds her career and reputation under threat after a personal sex tape is leaked on the Internet. Forced to meet the parents demanding her dismissal, Emi refuses to surrender to their pressure. Radu Jude (AFERIM!) delivers an incendiary mix of unconventional form, irreverent humor and scathing commentary on hypocrisy and prejudice in our societies.

BAD LUCK BANGING OR LOONY PORN is a film in three loosely connected parts: a walk around Bucharest, a playful essay on obscenities, and finally culminating in an incendiary, comic confrontation. Radu Jude’s satire explores the frustrations, prejudices, and boundless hypocrisy of contemporary society.

BAD LUCK BANGING OR LOONY PORN is a unique, daring, provocative pandemic piece worthy of the explicit sexual content warning at the front of the film.

Content Advisory: Explicit sexual content.
