A Rebel Edge
Q&A with director Bogdan Pușlenghea, producer and cameraman Cristian Maghiar and protagonist Doru Chirodea
Doru Chirodea fled to America in the 1980s and started writing poetry in English without actually knowing the language. Back in Romania, he prints books of poetry at his own expense, for an increasingly narrow audience. A serene meditation on the end of a bohemian, rebellious lifestyle.
