4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days

Cristian Mungiu's wrenching thriller won both the Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival and the Best Foreign Language Film Award from the National Society of Film Critics. Following the saga of two college roommates during Romania's late Ceausescu era trying to arrange an illegal abortion, Mungiu's exquisite and matter-of-fact horror tale examines the everyday reality of living in a totalitarian state and the human will to resist, survive and carry on. "Ferocious, unsentimental, often brilliantly directed" - New York Times.
