4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) starring
Anamaria Marinca, Laura
Vasiliu. In 1987 in Romania, a young woman seeks an abortion -- something which is illegal at the time, and punishable by prison. This is a grim, increasingly tense portrait of one aspect of life under the oppressive
Ceaucescu regime. It's not much fun to watch, but carries an important message. (In Romanian, apparently, with English subtitles.)
Grade: B+
