The latest work from Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) deservedly won him Best Director at Cannes. Masterful in its construction, this is a gripping drama in which good intentions and guilty secrets gradually erode the moral certainties of a middle-class family. The story depicts a doctor in a small Romanian town and the moral complexities of the decisions he makes in order to provide a better life for his daughter. The shameful consequences of these decisions unravel slowly to reveal the shabby layers of corruption present in society.
