In October 1941, the Romanian government allied with the Nazis massacred over thirty thousand Jews in the name of revenge. The head of state even publicly declared that, even if they were branded with eternal infamy, they would carry out the extermination to the end. This catastrophe, known as the "Odessa Massacre," became one of the darkest and unspeakable secrets in Romanian history. The unwilling to gloss over the truth director Mariana prepares to reenact this tragedy in a war action drama, but faces numerous obstacles: actors on strike, high-ranking officials pressuring her to "correct" the audiovisuals, and even her personal life reaching a bottleneck. A more brutal human tragedy awaits. In "Catch the Gypsy!" director Radu Jude again uses the era as the theme, delving into the historical truth through the characters' sharp debates. He not only references the images of the victims but also employs multiple dialectics including metadrama and ironic references to Marx, Leni Riefenstahl, and Steven Spielberg as a critique. The original title translates as "I Don’t Care That We Are Positioned as Barbarians in History," directly citing the declaration of ethnic cleansing, making it a powerful testimony of history.
