Romania d/ Christian Mungiu
Another stunner from the remarkable Romanian film community. A troubled young woman comes back from the West to bring back her lover with whom she shared her life in an orphanage only to discover that she has settled into life as a nun in an orthodox monastery.
The drama inside this cloistered community plays out slowly with increasing intensity...rising to a fever pitch at the climax. Everyone here operated from the best motives...within the limitations of the sub-culture they inhabited (religious, police, hospital, foster home)...everyone recognized this woman needed help but none was able to provide her what she needed.
Great script, strong performances...a world-class production in the best sense.
