"I do not care if we go down in history as barbarians." These words, spoken in the Council of Ministers of the summer of 1941, started the ethnic cleansing on the Eastern Front. The film attempts to comment on this statement.
I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians is a 2018 black comedy film written and directed by Radu Jude. The title is pulled from a speech by Romanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Mihai Antonescu to the Council of Ministers preceding the 1941 Odessa massacre.
