[A] striking, singular film....A mordant parable of and about our time as well as a poem of personal urban decay, LAZARESCU investigates how we treat one another, how we interact with the world.

Rating: 4/5 -- The Death of Mr. Lazarescu seems effortlessly observed, even improvised, but it's actually a wonder of choreography, rhythm and social commentary. Full Review

MR. LAZARESCU is that rich and riveting a film of universal small human moments and big-system failure. -- Grade: A

Product Description:

Shot in Romania, THE DEATH OF MR. LAZARESCU follows the title character as he waits for attention in a rundown hospital emergency ward. Fans of Lars Von Trier's THE KINGDOM should find much to love here, as Lazarescu's trip to the medical unit descends into a nightmare-ish journey of horrendous mistreatment at the hands of the hospital staff.
