The Death of Mr Lazarescu

A film from Romania.  Slow, gritty but somehow you get caught in the flow.  It simply recounts an Lazarescu's illness and the subsequent saga of the ambulance team's attempt to get Lazarescu into a hospital to get treatment (150 minutes!).  Perhaps a parable of the indifference and egocentrism of Romanian disctatorship?  Perhaps a parable of how this dictator experience destroyed Romanian social fabric?
