Andrei Gruzsniczki's sophomore feature, set in the mid-1980s and handsomely shot on black-and-white film, takes a progressively involving look at two academics who have run afoul of Romania's secret service. While comparisons will be made to The Lives of Others, this film takes a very different approach, distinguished by quiet characterization. (Karlovy Vary International Film Festival)
