| Movie night – 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days |
| Movie night – 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, winner of the grand prize at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival, is set in Communist Romania, in the 1980s, with boxy Eastern Bloc autos, ill-lit streets, and a thriving black market: Kent cigarettes, Tic-Tacs, abortions. Like various forms of contraception, abortion was illegal under the regime of Nicolae Ceausescu – totalitarian measures to boost the country’s population. And so, in the haunting 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, a pregnant college student and her dorm-mate arrange for an illegal termination – to be performed in a drab hotel, by a guy carrying his devices, and his rubber gloves, in a cheap attache case. |
