The death of Mr. Lazarescu

Cristi Puiu (2006)

The film tells the story of a man in his sixties who lives alone and calls for an ambulance one night only to be passed from hospital to hospital without a confirmed diagnosis.

As his condition worsens, the physicians show little empathy towards him and the film seeks to highlight problems in Romania's health system.

Original Romanian version with optional English subtitles.
