THE NORTH
BY MIHAI MINCAN

Inspired by real events, Mihai Mincan's To the North transcends its own specific story to become a painful metaphor for the human condition. Following the thread of a tense and rigorous narrative, the director invites us to explore both the confined space of a cargo ship on the high seas and the abyss of the human soul. With an extremely precise and accurate screenplay, Mihai Mincan succeeds in creating a complex depiction of human relationships in which the power of some clashes with the powerlessness of others. Filmed with a highly mobile camera that brilliantly captures both the space and every single motion on the intense and tortured faces of its protagonists, To the North stands out for the great formal and emotional.
