The cryptic title of Romanian auteur Cristian Mungiu’s 2007 Cannes film festival winner incites uncomfortable contemplation over the late term black market abortion that his lead character Gabita undergoes during the last days of communist Romania.

The stark drama is a consummate cinematic example of a socially charged parable told from a deeply personal perspective.

The negotiating that Gabita must go through with her manipulative abortionist leads to a crisis decision that is outrageous for its cruel depravity.

Cristian Mungiu films each scene in single takes that give the film an authenticity seldom found. Do yourself a favor and see the movie that won last year’s Palme d’Or.

Not Rated. 103 mins.
