Carmen
Romania 2013
In Romanian / English subtitles
88 min
Rating: 12
Doru Nițescu's film Carmen is another instance of dramatic brilliance
to derive from New Romanian Cinema. The story details the psychological
burden of a mother, Mariana (Rodica Lazăr), dealing with her young
daughter's, Carmen (Iulia Lupascu), life-threatening illness. In the
midst of the tragedy comes another grim depiction of Romania's corrupt
health care system - something notoriously highlighted in Cristi Puiu's
The Death of Mr Lazarescu. Both actresses have been lauded for their
performances, both on a national scale and throughout Europe.
