Other than its setting in Ceausescu's Romania and its receipt of the Palme d'Or at Cannes, I knew nothing about this film before walking into the theater.
By the time the end credits started rolling, I murmured to my companion, "Wow!" The film was so powerful, namely the cinematography, visuals, lack of music, and dialogue. Like others in the theater, I stayed until the very end of the credits despite not understanding the language.
Some reviewers call the ending anticlimactic and others say it is inevitable. Does it matter?
