Strangely compelling

I watched this film and it is long and boring but I couldn't turn it off... I found myself trapped into continuing to watch just to see if it really could get any worse.

And even though I could anticipate the ending I had to watch through to the end just to see how badly it was in fact going to end up for Mr Lazarescu.

This is not mainstream entertainment... but it is a well produced and compelling film depicting this one man's awful story.
