Cristian Mungiu on his Cannes winner Fjord and the trap of 'Europudding' cinema

Romanian filmmaker Cristian Mungiu says his new film Fjord could have been a generic 'Europudding' but instead became a culture-clash story that challenges both conservative and liberal values. He argues that too many stories exist only to make audiences feel they are on the right side. The film won the Palme d'Or at Cannes. For viewers, it raises a broader question about whether cinema should comfort or unsettle the people watching it.
