4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days (12)
Language: Romanian - Year: 2008: Running time: 113 minutes
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 helps her university roommate Gabita 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.
Director: Cristian Mungiu
