Maybe the reindeer know Moş Craciun needs a little diagnosis and treatment this winter. At the very least, it’s nice to see the hospital has a sense of cheer. Big improvement over the last time I thought about Romanian health care. [...] [...] Ho, ho, ho! Maybe the reindeer know Moş Craciun needs a little diagnosis and treatment this winter.

Supposedly, they’ve got a slight bit of reserves on hand and a stream of trucks will be organized to bring water from somewhere. Hospital officials told reporters they had done as much as humanly possible to hedge against medical catastrophes, but clearly things would “not be easy” for the next two days. Sorry, Mr. Lazarescu, but nobody in Braşov cares even one iota. Please die. Die now. [...] [...] Meanwhile, the hospitals are teetering on the edge of going without water.

In fact, that's one reason why I singled out Mihai Bratila's performance in the tomograf room. He did an outstanding job delivering the full context of that character's personality... which made it funny in a dark way. There were other bits, too. But my take on it wasn't necessarily ha-ha funny humor, so much as chuckling because you can't believe some of the psychosis you are witnessing. Very dark and subtle indeed.

I dont know whether the humor came through to the American audience, perhaps it was a little too subtly and darkly EastEuro. But altogether a fine film.
