4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days

With the Writer's strike almost over, this is a moot point, but if this had gone on much longer, I wonder if there would've been an increase in demand for foreign films to satisfy America's desire for stories. Since most of what gets imported into the US are the better foreign films, and since most of what would have been harmed by the strike were the bad blockbusters and other tripe, then I doubt it very much that in our desperation for stories, we would've been willing to watch endless Bollywood remakes of our favorite movies. Nevertheless, this new Romanian film, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, reviewed here by Roger Ebert sounds very moving and difficult. I will have to queue it.
