Sir Creep 7,070 Posted May 19, 2018 Lucian Pintilie, a leading Romanian stage and film director who clashed with the Communist authorities in his home country and was forced from it for a time as a result, died on Wednesday in Bucharest. He was 84. His friend Corina Suteu, a former culture minister of Romania, confirmed his death but did not give the cause. Mr. Pintilie was a provocateur by the standards of Communist Romania, incurring the wrath of Nicolae Ceausescu, the country’s leader from the mid-1960s until his overthrow and execution in 1989. Eventually Mr. Pintilie left the country, working in France, the United States and elsewhere until after the fall of Communism. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
