This savage Romanian satire of the media concerns the ghosts of that country's totalitarian past. Writers Victor and Ioana Petroni (Serban Ionescu and Maia Morgenstern) awake one morning to find a horde of journalists with video cameras beating down their door. The muckraking TelePlus Journal TV show has dredged up information stating that Victor was an informant for the dreaded secret police for 20 years. Among his alleged misdeeds are ratting on his wife about everything from a long-ago abortion to her taste in wine. Face to Face was screened at the 1999 Montreal Film Festival.
