A movie a week is all we ask. Well, that and a good cup of coffee...a few sunny days in a row wouldn't hurt either - and a nice bottle of wine every now and again. The movies should be good too...not Hollywood crap, but well-made, smart independent films. For geniuses. That's all.

The Death of Mr. Lazarescu
Real-time exploration of the night of a man's death. Just as bleak and sad as that. This movie was marketed and sold as a comedy. It was not. Not even close. I felt perhaps there was some cultural humor that went over our heads... I sure hope so. Otherwise this is just a sad film. I felt connected to the story and interested to see how it turned out, which, given the title, seems a little dense, but I did start to care about him and wanted him to pull through. (spoiler alert: He doesn't.)
