The Bottom Line:
Palme d’Or winner at Cannes Film Festival. A brilliant film which explores the boundaries of friendship. The genius of writer / director Cristian Mungiu in full evidence here.
Set in Ceausescu's Communist Romania in 1987, this film is an unflinching, brutally realistic depiction of life at the time: human rights are restricted and everything is bartered and traded in secret. The style is minimalist, the performances naturalistic, and the overall effect is incredibly powerful. You'll be astonished by the raw truthfulness of it all.
Pádraic Delaney, Actor
