I believe that this film would have functioned pretty much of the same manner if we did it as a colour or sepia film, instead of making it black&white, film director Radu Jude said after the first premiere dedicated to the critics and media of his "Aferim!" film, for which he received the Silver Bear for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival.

"If I knew I would win such a prize, I would have been more serious when shooting it," Radu Jude said on the Berlinale stage.
