The New York Times said this was one of the top 25 films of the century, so I had to see it. The best description is that three hour Romanian movie. It is excellent, but man is it painfully long. And it is such a devastating theme to last for three hours. It's about a dying man who over the course of a night goes to hospital after hospital, all of them refusing to treat him. It is described as a dark comedy. But it is hardly funny. There are some ridiculous situations that we know are actually based in truth. Is that funny? It's more sad than funny. I really have a hard time describing it as a comedy. There were a couple times I laughed, but it didn't really seem right.
