Even with Cannes hype
generating high expectations, Cristian Mungiu's drama set
during Romania's communist regime is startlingly good
viewing. 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days takes place over one day
in 1987 when Otilia (Marinca) helps her university roommate
Gabita (Vasiliu) seek an illegal abortion. Risking prison
under Ceausescu's dictatorship, Gabita seems to be falling
apart, so it's up to Otilia to facilitate the doctor and
hotel room - but quite how far she's willing to go to help
her friend is yet to be tested.
