film review: Film Review: Four Months, Three Weeks ...

(with permission of the author) This is the story of an abortion, Romanian style. A major focus is on the dependent relationship of two young college female students and the ultimate consequences for both. The film also speaks to the universal clash between middle class and working class mindsets. The Romanian state's legal prohibition of abortion provides both backdrop and impulse to the film's evolution. As to the abortion: Two young women in their early twenties, students at a university are roommates. One (Gabita) appears devoid of the will to think and act: she becomes pregnant, is close to five months (0 comments)
