Film Screening

Red Apples
Mere Rosii, 1976, Alexandru Tatos, English subtitles, 86 min.
A young urologist is assigned to a town hospital with no urology ward, and keeps bumping into his superiors because of both ethical and medical problems. For those who know the medical system in Romania, this is an acid pamphlet against destruction of young talents as well as a stand against the never-ending corruption plaguing even the noblest of professions.
