4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days
I was wondering if any of you are planning to get this movie, which is apparently being released tomorrow (6-17-08). It's a Romanian movie that got amazing reviews early this year (95% at rottentomatoes.com).
It's funny, I can't seem to find it on many sites. Amazon doesn't even list the price, and it's nowhere to be found on bestbuy.com or any of my other regulars. It IS coming out tomorrow, right?

This was my favorite film shown last year at the European Union Film Showcase at the AFI Silver. An outstanding film. I'll definitely be picking up the DVD at some point, but haven't ordered it yet. A full DVD review from Phil Bacharach should be up on DVDTalk very soon.

I actually picked up the UK disc and am very, very pleased with it. It has a lot of extras I doubt it will make it to the US disc. The transfer is absolutely fabulous.

Netflix had this available last week and I rented it from them and watched it Saturday night. It really won me over. It was slow and the shots went on for 5 or 10 minutes sometimes but the acting was great and the story was told in such a way I couldn't help but feel involved.

I'm eager to see if the U.S. version has any extras. Sometimes I feel it's refreshing to see such a bleak film.
Seeing this 3 months or so ago, it has never left my mind. Damn good film.

The movie is fucking awesome. I actually think it bears rewatching, because there's some subtleties regarding the relationship between the two female leads that, IMO, express the director's views on the relationship between the individual and the state in Ceausescu and post-Ceausescu Romania.
