The Death of Mr. Lazarescu explores the dire consequences of an ailing medical system in Romania and the one man who bears the brunt of it all. Mr Lazarescu is a 63-year-old widower who shares his apartment with his three cats and who drinks to excess on a regular basis affecting his health. Suffering from pains in his head and his stomach, he calls for an ambulance to take him to the local hospital. Hindered by a major bus accident the medics eventually arrive and so begins a long and increasingly frustrating night. Shuffled from pillar to post, he becomes wearier and weaker in the face of the medical profession’s bureaucracy and casual inefficiency. A succession of colourful characters permeates the film and the combination of dry humour and ‘scapel sharp’ satire make this one of the year’s most deeply affecting films.
