(2008)

Country: Romania
Genre: Drama
Synopsis
On a May Day holiday by the Black Sea with his pregnant wife Smaranda and 4-year-old son Adi (Vlad Muntean), Bogdan Ciocazanu runs into his old friends from high school and is reminded of the drinking trips and sexual escapades of his younger days when he was known as 'Boogie'. Frustrated that, between his job and his family, time is no longer his to manage and play with, he decides to spend a night out with his friends, ticking off all the items on the map of his youth - drinking, games, flirting, and prostitutes. By the morning, however, Bogdan comes to an important realisation about the things that matter most to him in his life.
Notes
- Directed by Romanian film director and screenwriter Radu Muntean (b. 1971), who is a central figure of the 'Romanian New Wave' of filmmaking, of which "Boogie" is an exemplar. Romanian New Wave cinema is characterised by an austere, realist and often minimalist aesthetic, with a tendency to black humour.
- Winner of numerous awards, including the award for Best Screenplay at the 2008 Hamptons International Film Festival
- Vlad Muntean, who plays Adrian 'Adi' Ciocazanu in this film, is director Radu Muntean's son.
