Cinématographie roumaine : visibilité et agentivité des langues minoritaires dans le film R.M.N. de Cristian Mungiu
Abstract
The article addresses the visibility and agency of minority languages in Cristian Mungiu's film R.M.N.. The author explores how this film, set in a multiethnic village in Transylvania, uses linguistic diversity to reveal racial, cultural, and social tensions. The film depicts an environment where multiple languages coexist, but latent conflicts emerge, particularly with the arrival of foreign workers. These dynamics highlight issues related to racism and populism while illustrating the complexity of linguistic interactions in a multilingual society.
