Film on illegal abortion takes top Cannes prize
A Romanian film has won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival ...Four Months, Three Weeks And Two Days, a Romanian illegal abortion story set in the final days of Communism, was a favourite to beat the 21 other films to the title.
The hard-hitting Romanian film, featuring two students in the final days of Nicolae Ceausescu's reign, is part of a larger film project called Tales From The Golden Age, about the history of communism in Romania.
Directed by Cristian Mungiu, it is the first film of the series.
I'm going to see if I can get some more info on the film...or maybe a clip.
