#2 - Serge Ioan Celibidachi - The Yellow Tie / Cravata Galbena - Growing Up Celibidachi

It has been two weeks since Cravata galbenă / The Yellow Tie opened in Romanian cinemas. Director Serge Ioan Celebidachi, son of the legendary conductor Sergiu Celibidache, joins Voices of Romania for a candid, on-the-ground conversation about legacy, fatherhood, and turning a personal story into a national film. We cover premieres and audience reactions, the weight of a famous name, choosing directing, working with John Malkovich, Sean Bean, and Ben Schnetzer, building a large production entirely in Romania, and the question that remains when the lights come on: Would his father have loved this film?
