The 45^th edition of arguably the most prestigious cinematographic event in the USA will showcase Cristian Mungiu’s Palme D’Or winner “4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days” among its centerpieces, prior to its release in the US.

Cristian Mungiu and leading actress Anamaria Marinca will respond to questions after the screening, courtesy of the Romanian Cultural Institute and IFC.

Quoting the NYFF synopsis: “Cristian Mungiu’s terrific new film takes us on an unflinching tour of the now distant but still frightening world of Romania’s Ceauşescu regime during its death throes. Our guides are two college students, Otilia and Gabita, preparing for a mysterious appointment in a cheap hotel. Mungiu’s film, the first in a trilogy, is composed in long, uninterrupted takes which edge the viewer into the contemplation of a morally broken universe, where every encounter, even the most seemingly innocent, is tinged with suspicion and fear. Newcomers Anamaria Marinca and Laura Vasiliu are exceptional in the leading roles".

”Pitch perfect and brilliantly acted, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is a stunning achievement.'' Jay Weissberg – Variety
