Antinterview (1983)

Overview

A portrait of the caricaturist Mihai Stănescu, the film is not a conventional documentary, as it resorts to small comic scenes that highlight the playful personality of the plastic artist. "Antiinterviu" contains a prologue conceived in the aesthetics of silent comedies, with a little boy who scribbles on any surface he finds, from the walls of buildings to the clothes of citizens standing in line at the Alimentara, being chased and pulled by the ears by police officers and other adults around him for his disobedience. The defiant attitude of Mihai Stănescu, known at the time for his caricatures with political allusions, also appears to have a mischievous dimension.
