Review of R.M.N. (2022)

One morning, on his way to school in a Transylvanian village, little Rudi sees something in the woods. He is gripped by a fear so profound that he loses the ability to speak. Not knowing this, the boy’s Romanian father returns from a job butchering sheep in Germany. He finds his home village rising to a fever heat of racism. Trying to look after his own ailing father, get into a woman’s bed and help Rudi the old-fashioned way, the butcher will not pick a side.
