Eric Rohmer’in ‘Ahlak Üzerine Altı Öykü’ (Six Moral Tales) serisinden ilham alan genç yönetmen Puiu, benzer bir şekilde Bay Lazarescu’nun Ölümü’nü Bükreş banliyölerinde geçen altı filmden oluşacak bir serinin ilk filmi olarak kurgulamış. Bay Lazarescu Bükreş’te bir apartman dairesinde tek başına, üç kedisiyle yaşayan 60’lı yaşlarında bir alkoliktir. Bir gece mide krampları ve bulantısıyla uyanınca acil servisi çağırır ve beklemeye başlar. Ambulans nihayet geldiğinde, Lazarescu’nun büyük şehir tıp dünyasındaki karanlık yolculuğu başlar; bir hastaneden diğerine sürüklenir, yanlış teşhis konur, tekrar teşhis konur, beklemeye alınır ve saatler ilerledikçe durumu kötüleşir. Neredeyse bir belgesel lezzetinde gerçekçi olan film, yönetmenin kendi tabiriyle televizyon dizisi ER ile Rohmer’i buluşturuyor ve bolca kara mizah da içeriyor. Film, eleştirmenlerce bir başyapıt olarak nitelendiriliyor; Bükreş dünyanın herhangi bir şehri, Bay Lazarescu ise pekala yan komşunuz olabilir.

On July 14, 1789, a mob of angry Parisians stormed the Bastille and seized the King's military stores. A decade of idealism, war, murder, and carnage followed, bringing about the end of feudalism and the rise of equality and a new world order. The French Revolution is a definitive feature-length documentary that encapsulates this heady (and often headless) period in Western civilization. With dramatic reenactments, illustrations, and paintings from the era, plus revealing accounts from journals and expert commentary from historians, The French Revolution vividly unfurls in a maelstrom of violence, discontent, and fundamental change. King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Maximilien Robespierre, and Napoleon Bonaparte lead a cast of thousands in this essential program from THE HISTORY CHANNEL®. Narrated by Edward Herrmann (The Aviator, Gilmore Girls), The French Revolution explores the legacy that--now more than ever--stands as both a warning and a guidepost to a new millennium
