EXCLUSIVE. How Sebastian Stan found out he was nominated for an Oscar: "I stopped rehearsals and told him." Cristian Mungiu, interview for Observator

Cristian Mungiu, director who won the prestigious Palme d'Or award at Cannes, spoke to Observator, Antena 1, about the new film he is preparing and which stars Sebastian Stan, an actor recently nominated for an Oscar.

EXCLUSIVE. How Sebastian Stan found out he was nominated for an Oscar: "I stopped rehearsals and told him." Cristian Mungiu, interview for Observator.

Cristian Mungiu, a filmmaker who won an award at Cannes for the film 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, but also the director of films such as Occident, După Dealuri or Baccalaureat, gave an EXCLUSIVE interview to Observator. He said that he was with Sebastian Stan when the Romanian actor was nominated for an Oscar. Cristian Mungiu also talked about his new film, a production that will take him to Norway for filming and which has Sebastian Stan in the lead role.

"For now, Sebastian came to Romania for some rehearsals. We are not in a promotional phase because we don't really have anything to promote yet. We are organizing to make the film and it was important for us to see each other at this stage."

I met with Sebastian and Renate Reinsve, the lead actress, for some costume fitting and rehearsals, and what was also nice was that we were together when he received this news.

(Reporter: So he was in Romania?) Yes, he was in Romania and we were happy. He was emotional, but we agreed that we would work that day and we were in rehearsals when I received a message. I was happy to tell him: hey, you've been nominated!

Of course we were happy, but it's very important that now we can focus on what we have to do, because what we have to do next is quite difficult.

I hope we can start filming in March. We have to film for about two months, until May, in Norway. It is still not clear whether we will also film in Romania, probably not, but that is a decision we will make a little later. We have a cast made up mostly of Nordic actors: Norwegians, Danes, Swedes, plus Sebastian and a few Romanians.

"We've known each other for a long time. He came to New York once, when I was screening a film, and we met. We agreed to stay in touch in the hope that one day we would find a project to work on together. And look, I found one that was convenient for both me and him. For him, both in terms of role, language, and period," said Cristian Mungiu.

He also gave some details about the script.

(Reporter: What is the film about?) "It's the story of a meeting of two cultures, if you want to say it that way, which is expressed in the film through the meeting between two families who live next to each other in a very isolated locality, in a Norwegian fjord, in a place that we found and where there are only two or three houses. A situation that brings a fairly intimate report between neighbors and that shows a certain exchange related to each one's cultural values, ideas about family, about education. It's a community story, a story about the need to understand that there are no longer monoblock communities like before.

I don't know if it's a "difficult" film, because I've never made easy films. It's a more difficult film because I'm filming in a language other than Romanian, a difficult film because it also has to do with how the seasons manifest themselves today and because we don't know what weather we'll get there.

We're filming for about 50 days and the hope is that during this period we'll catch snow, rain, and spring.

"If everything goes well, we will try to get him to Cannes in 2026," he added.

EXCLUSIVE: Cristian Mungiu to Shoot Fjord in Norway with Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve

BUCHAREST: Romanian Palm d’Or winner Cristian Mungiu is preparing to shoot his new feature Fjord entirely in Norway as of March 2025. This Romanian/French/Norwegian/Danish/Finnish/Swedish drama starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve has already been acquired by GoodFellas.

In January 2025, Stan and Reinsve flew to Romania for rehearsal and costume tests before leaving together with Cristian Mungiu and part of the team to Norway. It was in Romania that Stan found out about the Academy Award nomination for his leading performance in The Apprentice by Ali Abbasi.

Written by Mungiu, Fjord tells a story about the encounter between two neighbouring families living in a remote Norwegian village. Mihai (Sebastian Stan) is Romanian and Lisbet (Renate Reinsve) is Norwegian. In the other couple, Mats is Norwegian while Mia is Swedish. Their children go to the same school. The families will have to admit, handle and resolve their different views about family, education and progress. What are the limits of personal freedom and from which moment onwards the society compels you to conform?

“Fjord is a story about irreconcilable views of the world, about conformity, tolerance and the limits of freedom and intimacy”, said Cristian Mungiu in a statement.

He is producing through Romania’s Mobra Films in coproduction with Why Not Productions (France), Eye Eye Pictures (Norway), Snowglobe Film (Denmark), Aamu Film Company (Finland) and Filmgate Films (Sweden).

“The financing is still in progress, and so far the project is supported by the Romanian Film Centre (CNC), Creative Europe - MEDIA, Film i Vast, and Western Norway Film Commission”, executive producer Tudor Reu from Mobra Films told FNE.

The project received the biggest amount of 703,538 EUR / 3.5 m RON at the latest batch of the grants contest organised by the Romanian Film Centre, whose results were announced at the end of October 2024.

For Fjord Mungiu will be working with some of his usual collaborators, including Romanian DoP Tudor Vladimir Panduru and editor Mircea Olteanu.

The approximately 40-day shooting will start in March 2025 in Møre & Romsdal, Norway, and the premiere of the film is set for 2026.

This is the first film in Romanian for Stan (42), who left Romania as a child, and the second meeting on screen between him and Renate Reinsve after A Different Man by Aaron Schimberg, which brought Stan the Best Leading Performance award at the Berlinale 2024, as well as the Golden Globe in the Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy category.

Mark Carney To Become Canada's Next PM. Massacre in Syria: More Than 10.000 Killed! Democracy Dies In Romania. The EU’s leadership is now a global threat. Trump Chip Deal

Trud-Out: Mark Carney To Become Canada's Next PM

Ex-Bank of Canada and Bank of England governor and king of the globalists, Mark Carney, has tonight won the race to become Canada's next prime minister, replacing globalist Justin Trudeau.

Throughout the leadership race, Carney portrayed himself as an experienced crisis manager who led major central banks at pivotal moments - in Canada, during the global financial crisis, and in the UK, during its tumultuous exit from the European Union. But he is relatively untested as a politician and does not currently hold a seat in Parliament. The first crisis he will face is a trade war.. which until now he has been quiet about. “We have made this the greatest country in the world and now our neighbors want to take us,” Carney said in a brief speech before the results were announced on Sunday. “No way.”

Incoming Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declares, "My government will maintain our tariffs until the Americans show us respect."

Trump bashes Canada's dairy cartel for 'ripping off' Americans

Canada-U.S. relations continue to deteriorate following another tariff threat from President Donald Trump. This time a 250% upcharge on Canadian dairy entering the U.S.

China Hits Canada With Retaliatory Tariffs On Farm And Food Products

“Despite China’s repeated opposition and dissuasion, Canada has taken unilateral restrictive measures on products imported from China without investigation, undermining China-Canada economic and trade relations”

In the latest salvo of the second global trade war, on Saturday, China announced retaliatory tariffs on some Canadian farm and food imports, after Canada imposed duties in October on Chinese-made electric vehicles and steel and aluminum products. Additional 100% tariffs will be imposed on Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes and peas, and additional 25% tariffs will apply to pork and some seafood imports. The new duties become effective March 20, according to a statement by the Customs Tariff Commission of the State Council.

Democracy Dies In Romania... After 'Winning' In December, Georgescu Now Banned From May Presidential Election

Is Romania the canary in the 'death of democracy' coalmine?

After today's news, that canary - along with 'democracy' - is well and truly dead. In a stunning turn of events - that we have a feeling could backfire disastrously on the elite establishment - Romania has barred far-right frontrunner Calin Georgescu from running in May’s presidential election, in a move that could worsen the country’s political turmoil. The Bucharest-based electoral bureau invalidated Georgescu’s candidacy, a spokesman from the bureau said on Sunday. It received more than 1,000 challenges to Georgescu’s candidacy mostly related to his so-called anti-democratic and extremist stances. The decision can still be appealed at the Constitutional Court.

Romania in turmoil: Georgescu banned, clashes erupt, borders may close

Romania is now in a state of total dictatorship as Călin Georgescu is officially banned from running, leading to violent clashes between protesters and security forces. The government is invoking emergency laws that could . lead to border closures tonight if unrest continues. With tensions rising rapidly, Romanians are being urged to take to the streets before it’s too late.

Location: Zarenchensk, Russia- HYDRA Facility Time: 8:49 PM Date: March 23, 2025 Disclaimer: This may be potentially triggering for some people. It includes violence. A lot of it. Gaslighting as well. You have been warned. And here are my lovely tags: @under0-0s, @twoarrsandonesea, @insomniac-lifestyle, @lunamarvels, @eponastory, @thescarleteevee, @crazyinlovewithfandoms

Victoria Malric was ecstatic when she saw what she’d never thought possible. Indications on the radar pointed to no other life forms around her asset. That meant he was alone. Completely alone. She was not going to let another second pass, especially because the asset was asleep at the moment. 

She clicked into her tracking data. Bucharest. Lovely. 

Victoria rushed to her comms and tapped into GAIA. “Hello, my lovely little flower. It is time for you to pounce. Asset Striker is in your vicinity. I have sent his coordinates, now go get him. You will bring him back to me, even if it costs your life.”

There was silence for a moment. Victoria was about to call in GAIA’s handler after twenty minutes had passed. Was GAIA taken out? Impossible. It was their highest performing stealth artist. Why hadn’t it even responded to her, though? It hadn’t been released as the others had, had it? 

“Asset Striker is incapacitated and in my possession.” GAIA’s scratchy voice finally broke through that unreasonably tense silence that had filled Malric’s lab. 

“Good job, little flower. Bring him to me. He is… broken at the moment. We will fix him.” She could always trust GAIA in the end, and she was very glad about that. “I am in Russia. Meet me in Moscow, I will have the van.” 

A video clicked on. It had been sent to practically anyone involved with Callum James. It depicted a dark, empty room with a single chair. Steps echoed as they slowly approached the camera. In front of the camera now was a woman. 

“Hello.” She began, her Russian accent thick. “My name is Doctor Malric.” 

She gestured to someone off screen. After a few moments, Callum James was brought onto the screen. He was shoved into the chair, struggling and kicking. He didn’t want to be there, that much was obvious. There was something in his ears that hadn’t been there when he’d left America on that plane, something new. Something adjacent to hearing aids. 

“As you can see,” She continued once CJ was properly secured. “I have something you care about. At least, I assume you would care about him. I do not come offering you a trade. I will not take money for him. I am simply giving you one last look at him before he is gone forever.”

Victoria stepped over to the wall and pressed a button. Callum James erupted into screams as a white, hot pain hit him. He was in pain, his face made that obvious… the way he was trying to thrash around, but simply could not, also proved it. 

“Goodbye, loves.” She spoke over the screams. The video went black, leaving the echoing sounds of Callum James screaming before the audio cut as well. 

He could hear his screams. That was a first. It’d been months since he’d been able to hear anything at all, and now he could hear it all. Though he really wished he couldn’t. He wished he couldn’t hear her shrill laughter, her cold voice, her muttered words. He wanted her to go silent, wanted her to stop, but she wouldn’t. She never did. Not even all the begging and pleading in the world could make her quiet her nonsense. 

Callum James watched with labored breaths as she approached him. Not again. He couldn’t do this again. His body was already aching from the recent electricity, his head already buzzing. His brain was already fried. He hadn’t been gone long enough. Then again, would it ever be long enough to rid himself of their influence? 

“Hello, Striker.” Victoria Malric moved his head as if inspecting some sort of product. “You do not seem too damaged. Good. I was hoping GAIA would get to you before you woke, and it seems it did.” He stayed silent. His eyes were subtly scanning the surroundings, planning a way to escape her again. Last time he’d had help, though. Last time he had Viktor. This time he was on his own. Viktor Malric was dead. “Ah, you’re looking for a way out. Let me tell you, little snowflake, there is none.” She released his face. “No one will find you here. It is in the middle of nowhere, soundproof, and not even Stark technology can get into the system. I’ve ensured that.” 

His eyes met hers again. “Dad’ll find me.” His voice was scratchy from misuse. “I know he will.” 

“Which father, Striker?” She patted his head. “Steven? James? They gave you to me. They told me exactly where you were. How do you think I got to you, hm? They don’t want a broken child.” 

He looked up at her, eyes wide. “What?”

She clicked her tongue in annoyance. “I do not favor repeating myself, child. They gave you up! Revealed your location, gave you to me! They do not want a child so broken!” 

He wouldn’t cry. They didn’t deserve his tears. They don’t want a broken child. Those words echoed through his head. Over and over. A broken child. Was that all he was? Is that all they thought of him? Was that why they were in Bucharest? Was Rumlow even a real person? Or was it just a ploy to get rid of a pest. That was it, wasn’t it? A ploy. 

“You realize it now, no?” Victoria spoke up once more. “You are nothing to them.” He stared blankly at the wall for a few moments before giving a weak nod. “I am nothing to them. I’m just a burden on them.” 

Her laugh rang out. “Finally! You get it! Such a smart boy. I knew I raised a good one.” 

Callum James looked up. “Will you take me back, mother?” 

“Why of course. With a little fixing up, you will be better in no time. Back to being my precious little boy, a force to be reckoned with. My little snowflake. Oh, how I love you.” Victoria pressed a kiss to his forehead just as a mother would do her child. “You will need to go through some therapy of course. We just must get rid of those awful memories that make you feel so bad, no? And then we will need to get you back on your diet, your medications… your training regimen. Hopefully you will be back out in no time.” 

His right eye twitched. He didn’t want to do therapy again. It wasn’t good last time, and it hurt, but if it made mother happy… he was more than willing. He wanted to make her happy. She was the only person he could ever make happy, right? She loved him, cared for him. She raised him. She didn’t willingly give up his location, she didn’t say she didn’t want him. Victoria Malric was the closest he had to a mother. “Now, now.” She wiped his eyes. “Don’t cry, dear. They didn’t love you. They just pretended to. I fixed your hearing, don’t you see? They would have tried if they truly cared.”

He nodded numbly. That was all he had in him. Numbness. It was cold. He looked down at his arm. Oh. “You put something in me.” 

“Just to help you sleep, dear, just to help you sleep. You need it.” She patted his head again. 

The corners of his vision were beginning to fade. It was getting dark. “Okay, mother. I believe you.” 

Копировать (Copy)

That was the first thing he heard when he woke up again. He was strapped down in the stupid chair that he hated. Therapy. That’s what it was. It was therapy. And they always said those words. The words made the pain go away, the words made the memories disappear. 

He watched as they started injecting a fluid into the IV lines, and he watched as it went into his body. Warmth spread throughout. His vision blurred at the edges. It felt so nice to not feel anything. 

Отдых (Restrained)

Then there was something. A small tinge of uncomfortableness. A tingling that crept up his spine and bursted in the base of his skull. He whimpered quietly as pain began to set in. He would’ve reached up if he could have, but he was restrained to the chair. 

There was the shrill laughter of mother, that shattering chuckle. She was laughing at him being in pain? Why? No. No, this was not useless pain. It was needed, right? He needed to be fixed. Fixed so mother could love him again, fixed so he could please her again. He needed the therapy he was getting. It would make him better, it would make it all go away. He closed his eyes. 

Разрушать (Destroy)

“Ah, ah, ah!” Victoria’s voice rang out over the PA. “Eyes open, snowflake.” 

He opened his eyes. They focused again. He needed to keep them open. He didn’t understand why, exactly, but he knew it was important to the process. It always had been in the past as well. 

Pain burst into his skull again, but this time it was a thousand times worse. It felt like someone was actively setting aflame to his head. He groaned quietly, trying to adjust his body to the best of his ability. His head really hurt.

Винт (winter)Then the cold started. The warmth went away and it was just this searing, painful cold. Almost as if he were freezing to death. Waves of pain streaked out from his spine into the rest of his back. They moved into his arms, his legs. His lungs felt like they were being squeezed tightly. He couldn’t breathe. He was gasping, choking. 

“No–” He choked out. “No!” He wanted out. He didn’t want this. It hurt. Too much. 

“Shh… shh, it’s okay, darling.” The voice rang out over the PA again. “Mother just needs to fix some things. She will make you all better.” 

забастовка (Strike)

 The pieces of the machine locked into place. The others started to move. The familiar piece of rubber was placed into his mouth. It wasn’t long before electricity was pulsing through his body, even worse than it had been prior times. It must’ve been some sort of upgrade to the therapeutic process. 

His vision blurred, his body convulsing against his will. The screams that came from his mouth sounded foreign to him. He didn’t recognize them. He didn’t even know he was screaming. It just felt like he was floating. Everything was going numb. 

Шестьдесят(Sixty)

He saw flashes of James, Steve, even Luna. Flashes of people he barely knew, people he’d barely met. Piece by piece he was being destroyed. He was being picked apart. 

Luna’s face was becoming just a fuzzy blur of colors. Luna? Who even is that? Why was that name engraved in his brain? He never knew anyone named Luna. 

Next it was James, then Steve. All memories were being cleared away from his head. The machine was working, the therapy being as effective as it always had been. 

Молчание (Silence)

His face was stony now. The pain was numbed and he couldn’t really tell what was even going on. It was as if he were watching his body convulse from afar. He could hear himself screaming, but again, it didn’t feel like himself. He watched as the machine tore itself away from his body, his face. 

Things were quiet now, his breaths laboured. When he was brought back to his body, his chest ached. His throat was raw, his hands shaking. He had no emotion in his eyes though. It was blank, gone. 

Отец (Father)

Something clicked beside him. The restraints released from around his wrists and head. Striker didn’t move, though. He wasn’t told to move. 

Victoria stepped forward. She had some pictures in hand, humming. “Hello, Striker.”

He tilted his head. “Hello mother.” 

She held out the pictures: James, Steve, and Luna. “Who are these people, darling?” 

He scanned them. His head felt fuzzy for a few moments, something familiar trying to crawl its way forwards, but he pushed it away. “The Winter Soldier, a traitor. Captain America. The last one is just some woman I’ve never seen in my life.” 

“Good, good.” She tossed the pictures aside and started observing him. She tapped at his chest, pulled at his metal arm, tapped at his cybernetic eye. “Hm…”

He didn’t even flinch. 

“Призрак (Ghost)” She spoke the last word. 

“Ready to comply.” Was the only thing he said after that.  “Send him to the medical wing. His arm needs repairs, and his eye needs to be altered. Ah. Ensure his inhibitor is working as well, and the trackers.”

“Yes ma’am.” An armed guard forced him up.

Callum James was gone. He was Asset Striker now, and that’s all he ever was.
