Director Ali Abbasi will be present in Bucharest between November 1 and 3 as a special guest of the 15th edition of the Les Films de Cannes \u00e0 Bucarest festival. The filmmaker will participate in the special screening of his film The Apprentice at the Peasant Museum Cinema on November 2, followed by a Q&A session.<\/p>\n
The Apprentice drew international attention for its bold portrayal of a young Donald Trump in a challenging story of ambition, power, and moral decisions. Romanian-born actor Sebastian Stan gives a complex and captivating performance as Trump, contributing to the intense debates the film has generated since its world premiere in Official Competition at Cannes.<\/p>\n
With a script signed by journalist Gabriel Sherman, the film presents the rise of former US president Donald Trump (Sebastian Stan) to power through a “Faustic pact” with the influential right-wing lawyer Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong).<\/p>\n
