4 Months, 3 saptamani if \u200b\u200b2 zile . Romania, 2007.

Director and Screenwriter: Cristian Mungiu

Cast: Anamaria Marinca, Laura Vasiliu

Subjects of interest: abortion

Synopsis:

Otilia, a student, try to put excuse for not attending the birthday of her boyfriend's mother. The real reason is not to go that night should help a friend who is going to terminate her pregnancy, illegal and dangerous in the 80's Romania.

Comment:

In times where the auteur increasingly opts for a somewhat vacuous aesthetics and less about the content, is welcome to 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days dare put on the table on the thorny issue of abortion, political correctness as it tries to avoid any treatment carried out in this matter will upset one or other social sectors. As A women's affair , the film focuses on illegal pregnancy terminations, although changing the Nazi-occupied France by Ceausescu's Romania. No coincidence that all authoritarian regimes, both religious and atheists agree on condemning and prosecuting abortion under the guise of protecting human life that will develop inside the body of the pregnant woman is quite apparent cynicism of this concern for the unborn as these schemes show a clear disregard for the human rights of other infants. The Catholic Church is not far behind just in having double standards maintained throughout its history and to present a complicit silence in all schools and seminars on all kinds of mistreatment and abuse of children whose rights both can not do enough when they are still in the womb and therefore serve to impose a strict moral repressive sexual and limit the freedoms of women. is widespread evidence that the banning is for very little when it comes to limiting the number of abortions, as demonstrated by the case of the Netherlands, one of the states with the lowest number of abortions even though they are can be performed freely during the first months of pregnancy, if the bishops and other sectors supposedly pro-life really want to limit the number of abortions would not oppose any attempt to give people adequate sex education and to promote the use of contraceptives, two methods of preventing unwanted pregnancies significantly more effective than touting sexual repression.

The situation found women with unwanted pregnancies is reflected in all its pathos in the film: no means to travel abroad and perform the abortion there as will the girls of good family addicted to regime, she is at the expense of a butcher who not only shows no consideration for the suffering of the girl, but takes advantage of his desperation to finally get vejarla and sexual benefits in hard and tense scene in the film . The film, set in real time to give an impression of verisimilitude, get all this sleaze show without falling into sensationalism or whoever please see looking for striking images. The staging of long sequence shots with a fixed camera can not be simpler, and the narrative, no great speeches or edifying conclusions. Cristian Mungiu only shows the tension experienced by the main character, Otilia, the best friend of the girl who has an abortion, her innocence and bitterness after having been humiliated too, that gives you a grudge difficult to predict consequences in relation to her boyfriend, who probably imagine taking the same stance of the healer cold and insensitive, especially after hearing sexist remarks as repulsive as everyday family. The director appears to believe that women can only have the help of other women, the film ends up being, after all, a story of friendship. Scenes

Highlights:

  • The man who helps the girls to abortion instead of trying to reassure the young pregnant woman takes an arrogant attitude, after subduing the two young candid orally, blackmails not reaching out to abortion unless the two have sex with him.

Gravitational Field From A Cube

The nest: when love is ageless

's nest. Spain, 1980

Director and Screenwriter: Jaime de Armiñán

Cast: Héctor Alterio, Ana Torrent

Subjects of interest: pedophilia, gerontophilia

Synopsis: In

a Castilian town, Alexander, a widower mature Goyita know, a girl of 13 years. The is nice and the two begin a friendship that becomes more intimate and more ambiguous for the common people, it begins to spread harmful rumors.

Comment:

Like My dear Miss with transsexuality, Jaime de Armiñán again approaches in The nest with great sensitivity and respect for the characters to not one but two very rugged, pedophilia, sexual drive, or in this case rather emotional, to preteens, and the lesser known gerontophilia, attraction to the elderly. What could have resulted in a sordid story becomes impossible bittersweet love story between a man too old and a girl too young.


Today, given the taboo that involving brutal sex between adults and minors, is likely to approach the issue would not have been acceptable, and perhaps that is one of the reasons that the film is not as it should be valued and remembered. From a somewhat sickly light that dominates today, could be accused The nest pedophile fantasy sympathy for dealing with a character like Alexander, who was not portrayed as a dirty old man but rather the girl, Goya, which is behind him, looking for friendship and begins to introduce dyes ambiguous in their relationship. The girls the "cause" with their behavior and who are mentally more mature than would be assume their age is often one of the excuses for pedophiles to justify their actions when. But no one should see ulterior motives in exposing a reality of life, namely that pre-adolescent girls flirt their way with adults. Alexander, being vulnerable, probably because of their lack of affection from his wife's death, is serious about these flirtations and carried away by the play of the child with bitter consequences.

Goya, who takes refuge in his friendship with Alex to escape a family and an environment which sees its wings clipped, is a somewhat enigmatic character: his gerontophilia not seem to come from a desire to protect by someone but older quite the contrary, he is attracted to her lover Platonic underdog show, perhaps because he can manipulate at will. The script has one of its main advantages sometimes show a great involvement with the girl and others portray her as a femme fatale that leads to destruction of an old man. Top Scenes

:
  • Goya takes a knife and performed a blood oath: the initial tattoo of Alexander in his hand, he also hers tattoos.
