‘4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days’

Today is the last day you can see the hottest film on the international film scene, the Romanian “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days.” Yes, it will be back in February, but Los Angeles is not a city that smiles on those who hold back. This Palme d’Or-winning film will reward your efforts. Instead of being flashy, it takes pains to convey unblinking and despairing emotional truth with enough intensity to leave you gasping for breath. Writer-director Cristian Mungiu has faith that film can explore the most painful subjects, ask the deepest questions and deliver the most important meanings.
