Born 1958, in Bucharest, Romania to a family of Jewish descent, Radu Mihaileanu is a film director, producer and screen-writer. In his 20s, he left Romania, defecting from the Ceausescu<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>communist regime and enrolled in the IDHEC <\/a><\/strong>cinematographic institure in Paris. In 1980, his student short The Four Seasons (Les Quatre Saisons) received many plaudits, leading him to become the assistamt to Italian director Marco Fererri<\/a><\/strong>. In 1998, his second film Train of Life<\/a> <\/strong>(Train de Vie) was awarded the David di Donatello<\/a> <\/strong>for Best Foreign Film by the Academy of Italian Cinema, ensuring that Radu’s skills as a director were recognised globally for the first time. Radu\u2019s films depict the historical and political backgrounds of a number of countries<\/strong>, tackling such serious issues with humour, causing the viewer to both think and smile. His ability to present tragedy with comedy highlights the skill he brings to his work.<\/p>\n

His film Live and Become<\/strong> <\/a>(Va, Vis Et Deviens)<\/i> was a winner at the Berlin Film Festival as well as at other festivals. \u00a0The Concert<\/strong><\/i><\/a> and The Source<\/strong> <\/a>(Las Source des Femmes)<\/i> were shown at the Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n

SaraWaka first met Radu with him safely inside the television screen. Slouching around on the sofa, reading some manga or other, her attention was drawn to the TV by the violin melodies of Tchaikovsky <\/a><\/strong>– a personal favourite of hers. It was a trailer for Le Concert<\/i>. Thinking it could be an interesting film, she took herself down to the cinema to take a closer look.<\/p>\n

\u201cLe Concert<\/em> was a pretty good film!!\u201d she thought, then a few years later and thanks top her starring role in a Paolo Sorrentino <\/a><\/strong>movie “The Great Beauty”\u00a0<\/em><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(well, a 3<\/strong>-second appearance in one), she found herself introduced to the director of that very film. Not only did he agree to an interview, the very kind Radu became a close friend to SaraWaka as she slowly found her feet having moved cities and countries to Paris. With no friends in university to call her own, struggling with the lectures and having no clue where her future lay, SaraWaka went to Radu, who looked at her and said: \u201cLook at you, you remind me myself when I was young\u201d and kindly began giving her all sorts of useful, meaningful advice on life. (Sara Waka owes her sensei<\/i> so much\u2026) And while this is slightly off point,\u00a0 Sara Waka also finds herself laughing at how closely Radu\u2019s eyes resemble those of Daria<\/a><\/strong> (from the American cartoon) when he talks. Look for it if you meet him.<\/p>\n
