Hmm...Lazarescu is dark, but it has its moments of humor...

...black humor. Did not make me depressed. After all, it does tell you right in the title what to expect.

Import/Export...I dunno.

I watched the first hour on my computer, and did not notice any humorous moments so far. It is dry-bone real... brutal with no glimpse of hope.

Loved the paramedic, she is wonderful. In fact all characters so far are extremely well acted.

The overworked doctor is great too. Like it or not, this is the reality in which many people live. I have been there... actually far worse (the Romanian hospitals are not the worst), and many scenes here ring true of the situations I have seen.

  - "and plot surprise at every turn." No surprise... the standard Obamacare. - Victor Khomenko 05:58:16 04/04/10 (5)
    :( Too bad some people can't put one and one together.
    - Huh? Compare Obamacare to Germany, France, or Switzerland. Those are the models. nt - tinear 10:22:02 04/04/10 (4)

        It had good moments, but overall it is more like a collection of Etudes, not a complete symphony. It is easy to stimulate the emotions by showing suffering, so they don't get a badge for that.
        
        Lazarescu's acted by a wonderful actor, the script is original, the doctor and several - tinear 07:29:37 04/06/10 (0)

        other hospital folks are memorable, and the suffering is leavened as in the best black comedies.
        I'll see it again and see if it worsens.
