"Innocence by Design": The Devastating Consequences of Rushed Justice in Fjord Cristian Mungiu's latest film, Fjord, is a scathing indictment of the societal pressures that can lead to the destruction of innocent families.
On its surface, the movie appears to be a nuanced exploration of cultural differences and the challenges faced by those who don't conform to traditional values.
However, as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Mungiu's true target is the hasty and often unjust nature of modern day child protection services.
