Puiu’s (The Death of Mr. Lazarescu) mesmerizing new masterwork follows a seemingly ordinary engineer whose homicidal rage lurks just beneath his taciturn surface. A murder mystery turned on its end—where the mystery’s not the culprit, but the motive—this haunting addition to the remarkable Romanian New Wave asks tough questions but offers no easy answers.
