22 December 1989 heralded Ceausescu's fall from power in Romania.

In the farcical show that follows, the mens' fanciful boa find out more...

Mr. Lazarescu (in a terrific central performance from Ion Fiscuteanu) is a surly alcoholic in the winter of his existence and the film is driven along by his odyssey through the pitfalls of a national health system, as physicians consistently fail to diagnose what his condition actually is. Setting his movie within the walls of a state hospital and focusing on his protagonist as he (literally) find out more...
