Gritty Romanian film wins Palme d'Or in Cannes


By Mike Collett-White and James Mackenzie


CANNES, France (Reuters) - A hard-hitting Romanian movie
set toward the end of the Communist era won the
Cannes Film
Festival
's top honor on Sunday.

"4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days," directed by Cristian
Mungiu, was the critics' favorite to win the Palme d'Or in the
buildup to a glittering red-carpet ceremony that ended the
12-day movie marathon on the French Riviera.

The film tells the grim story of young student friends
Otilia and Gabita, who are ruthlessly exploited when one seeks
an illegal abortion.
