I just saw 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, the Romanian film focusing on Otilia (Anamaria Marinca, superbly naturalistic as a college student), surviving within the oppression of the Ceausescus' communist control. With dramatic irony, we are aware that the malignant system she endures would end two years later, in 1989.
Written and directed by Cristian Mungiu, the film recreates a stifled world where even contraception is outlawed, and danger lurks in any situation, at any time, from anybody....
