‘On paper, both countries agree that smacking your child is illegal’: Romanian journalist Andrei PopoviciuWhen Cristian Mungiu’s Fjord was shown in Romania as a one-day preview this June, the reception was extraordinary. Across 53 towns and 96 cinemas, the film reportedly pulled in over 40,000 viewers in a single night, a number arthouse cinema rarely sees in Romania. But the response here had little to do with cinema. It felt instead like a reopening of a familiar fault line about the clash of values within the EU itself. The film echoes events from 2015, when the five children of Marius and Ruth Bodnariu, a Pentecostal couple from Romania living in Norway – part of a Neo-Protestant minority long viewed with suspicion in Orthodox Romania – were removed from their home by Barnevernet, Norway’s child welfare authority, amid concerns over possible corporal punishment and religious indoctrination. The fallout in Romania stretched on for months, with diplomatic friction, public demonstrations and constant media coverage. The children were eventually returned, and the Bodnarius later resettled in Romania.
