Summary
HERE'S the Romanian movie which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and it's very much the sort which usually wins such prizes: a grim, grimy, extremely lowbudget film that offers an unremittingly bleak view of its home nation.
It is acted with great realism, especially by its leading actress, Anamaria Marinca, and pulls no punches in its storyline. It tells of two female roommates at college, Otilia (Marinca) and Gabita (Laura Vasiliu), whom we see preparing over an inordinately boring first half-hour for an unspecified event. This turns out to be a cheap but far from cheerful abortion for Gabita.See the full content of this document
