Plot
Paul, a married Bucharest man in his late thirties, is having an affair with a young dentist, Adriana. When his wife, Adriana's patient, finds out, he has to choose between them. Radu Muntean's 2010 film is told in long, static takes, and shows a series of quiet, tense conversations in a family. It is a restrained, naturalistic example of the Romanian New Wave.
Sinekatalog’s take
Radu Muntean's drama in long static takes shows a married man torn between wife and lover. Quiet, naturalistic and painfully honest, with Mimi Brănescu excellent, it is a key film of the Romanian New Wave.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
