Talk:The Death of Mr. Lazarescu

Plot

The description of the plot seems inaccurate – it suggest Lazarescu is treated, but the film ends before that occurs. We never find out if he is successfully treated. Frisbii (talk) 22:21, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

Film english title

The issue is whether to use "Lăzărescu" or "Lazarescu" in the English title and, implicitly, in the article name. The article was originally created (by me) with "Lăzărescu", then changed (correctly IMO) to "Lazarescu", then changed back. Let's discuss it. I propose "Lazarescu" as it seems that this was the version used by the distributor in the English name (see advertizing material, for instance the EN poster in the article vs. the RO one). Any arguments? AdamSmithee 11:07, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree that "Lazarescu" is the correct spelling of the film in English. This Amazon.com link clearly shows the title in English without the breves. The main menu of my copy of the DVD, produced by Tartan Films, shows "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu" (without breves). Because the aforementioned recent move was a copy-and-paste, I will reverse the redirects so that the article history is connected with the actual article. If there is a consensus for having the title at The Death of Mr. Lăzărescu instead, the article can be moved properly using the move feature. Olessi 11:57, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Comedy

I've seen a lot of comedy in my day, and I didn't find anything about this film amusing. What exactly is this "black comedy" aspect that I keep seeing everywhere, except in the movie?? — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 01:09, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Towards the middle of the movie there's a somewhat humorous part (with the doctor doing the cat scan). I don't know if it is enough to qualify for comedy, but some critics seemed to think so. AdamSmithee 07:35, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Trivia

A case from real life

In a case that resemples that of Lazarescu a Danish elderly women spend 9 hours between 4 departments on 3 hospitals quite far from each other on Sjælland trying see a relevant doctor as the doctors kept referring her to a new department. The grandchildren that drove her said that they drove 140 kilometer between the hospitals before their grandmother was finally hospitalized.

I wonder if that might be worth mentioning in the article? The source is: Kjeld Christiansen (2008-11-03). "Måtte køre ni timer med syg mormor". ekstrabladet.dk. — fnielsen (talk) 18:06, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
