Mungiu’s remarkable, critically acclaimed film, a candid, unflinching, and beautifully paced depiction of a young student’s illegal abortion during the final days of Communist rule in Romania, and one that, with its excellent, naturalistic performances and photography, is really rather moving and quite unforgettable.
