Favorite New Films: 4 Months, 3 Weeks, & 2 Days
posted by The Joe
If there’s anywhere to pinpoint as a major new force in world cinema, it’s Romania. Within the last three years, a ‘New Wave’ of sorts has hit the country, mastering natural performances and extremely long camera takes that have resulted most notably in The Death of Mr. Lazarescu and 12:08 East of Bucharest, some of the very best films in their respective years.
Another stunning achievement to add to the list, now, is 4 Months, 3 Weeks, & 2 Days, winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2007 Cannes.
Here in the Twin Cities the film is currently playing at Landmark’s Edina Cinema.
