Sinekatalog’s take
On a sweltering Bucharest day, a priest is called to a dying woman's bedside, and Radu Jude finds dry comedy in an uneasy situation. The short is tightly observed and mildly absurd, with an eye on everyday bureaucracy of faith. Good for fans of deadpan Romanian humor.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
