I watched this movie at Talkcinema yesterday. For those who dont know what Talkcinema is, they screen movies that havent created any buzz. The screening is followed by a discussion about the film.
This is my first Romanian film. The film is set in 1987. The entire film takes place on one single day. A woman is 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days pregnant. She wants to terminate the child. It was illegal during that era in Romania. The film is not about abortion. The film is about many other things. Relationship, friendship, oppression, and the society in the communist era.
Though I thought this film is more about women, men seemed to like it more than woman some reason. Movie was excellently made. The film is mostly shot with a stationary camera. You see only part of the room and just hear the voices of the rest. Another notable thing is, the movie has no background score.
Some scenes might probably seem unnecessary. From the talk I learned that some scenes were cut and some part of the preceding scenes were left for the sake of continuity. I was expecting story to take some turn to give some dramatic effect(many audience were), but thankfully they dont.
You may like it or hate it, but you will find this movie stimulating.
