Review of 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007) by Mike T — 07 Sep 2009
Christian Mungiu's stark, brilliantly neutral drama heightens the tension and unease of its subject matter through ingenious visual choices and grim realism. Almost all of the scenes in this film are presented in one shot, which makes for some truly unique composition and refined movement.
The performances are so phenomenally convincing that we can feel the pressure building on a visceral level. Anamaria Marinca is particularly astounding - her performance is composed of nuances and psychological understanding.
A staggering, masterfully conceived movie.
