Cristian Mungiu, the writer-director, making only his second feature, opens up an entire society for us. The human drama he elicits, in all its pity and terror and gumption is Chekhovian.
4 MONTHS, 3 WEEKS and 2 DAYS is a pitiless, violent story that in its telling becomes a haunting and haunted intellectual and aesthetic achievement.
