Sinekatalog’s take
Lucian Pintilie's drama follows a prosecutor investigating a miner's death in Romania's Jiu Valley as he faces pressure and moral compromise. Răzvan Vasilescu and Victor Rebengiuc star in a bleak, tense and sharply made post-Ceaușescu film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
