Olympic star Nadia Comăneci was a Romanian 'hero' who defected to escape her government. What do her surveillance files reveal?

Key Points: 
  • These quotes, which would sit comfortably in a Le Carre thriller, come from Nadia Comăneci and the Secret Police: A Cold War Escape (2023).
  • Translated from Romanian by Alistair Ian Blyth, this book sheds light on state surveillance, lived experience and sport in the Eastern Bloc.

The most famous gymnast in the world

    • Put simply, Comăneci, the first gymnast to be awarded a perfect score of ten in an Olympic event, was, as Olaru points out, “the most famous gymnast in the world”.
    • By the autumn of 1969, Comăneci had enrolled at her local gymnastics centre, where she received formal training.
    • In 1970, she became the youngest gymnast to win at the Romanian Nationals.
    • Comăneci shot to international prominence in 1975 when, at the age of 13, she dominated proceedings at the European Gymnastics Championships.
    • Comăneci’s name and score was on everybody’s lips and immediately started to wend their way around the world.

Influential, abusive coaches

    • Béla and Márta Károlyi are two of the most influential and successful coaches in the history of gymnastics.
    • They are also extremely controversial - as viewers of Athlete A will already know.
    • Consider what Olaru has to say about the pair, who feature prominently in every chapter of his book.
    • Only when there was a need to manipulate them did he tell the young gymnasts he cared about them.
    • The depressing conclusion Oralu reaches is that the Romanian authorities chose to ignore the multiple warnings that came their way.

America’s gymnastics community knew

    • It matters because it’s clear the US gymnastics community was well aware of Károlyi’s reputation.
    • Take Joan Ryan’s Little Girls in Pretty Boxes, published in 1995, which exposed the abusive reality of professional gymnastics in the US.
    • USA Gymnastics continued to place its trust - and the bodies of its athletes - in Károlyi’s hands.

Renfield: Nicolas Cage's reimagining of Dracula pulls the vampire film into the 21st century

“Don’t make it a sexual thing!” Nicolas Cage’s Dracula tells Nicholas Hoult’s Renfield in this new interpretation of the classic vampire movie.

Key Points: 
  • “Don’t make it a sexual thing!” Nicolas Cage’s Dracula tells Nicholas Hoult’s Renfield in this new interpretation of the classic vampire movie.
  • “I eat boys … I eat girls.” In a line, the film deftly dismisses a century of post-Freudian interpretations of Bram Stoker’s vampire story – and with justification.
  • In its recognition that gaslighting and emotional abuse are about control rather than desire, the film provides a version of the vampire myth in tune with contemporary debates.

Citational vampires

    • This means that they compulsively reference other vampire films, playfully reworking the conventions of the genre.
    • In Renfield, an eye-catching sequence transposes Cage and Hoult’s faces onto footage from Tod Browning’s Dracula (1931).
    • They accused the studio of profiting from Lugosi’s image after his death through merchandising, initiating a protracted case they eventually lost.

Action versus comedy

    • But unlike previous attempts to hybridise the vampire and action genres, such as the Blade and Underworld series of the early 2000s, it does not take itself too seriously.
    • There is a long tradition of vampire comedy.
    • The self-referential nature of vampire cinema gives rise to comedy.
    • While comparable contemporary vampire film What We Do in the Shadows and its spin-off TV series allow emotional insights to surface through the comedy, in Renfield any potential profundity is deflected into action stunts.
