This Romanian drama follows Paul, a director of some renown, who is suffering from an imaginary medical condition and a real crisis of faith. He has two weeks left to shoot his latest opus; but is for some unknown reason plagued with doubt. Perhaps it has to do with his actress, with whom he’s having an affair, or the constraints of Chinese cuisine, or Michelangelo Antonioni, or something in between. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival** and the **New York Film Festival**. "*A dryly funny, enigmatic new work.*" – ***The New York Times***
