The Death of Mr. Lazarescu  {Moartea Domnului Lazarescu}

The Death of Mr. Lazarescu

A retired engineer spends what could be his last night on Earth being shuttled through a nightmarish series of hospitals in an attempt to actually get treatment. Presented almost in real time, this grimly humorous, marvelously insightful film has been a critical favorite ever since its ecstatically received premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
