Much more awards than IMDB says

Due to the huge delays in processing awards & nominations on IMDB (except for the big festivals), only one award is listed for "Moartea domnului Lazarescu", the prize won in Cannes 2005.
Actually this movie has a lot more awards. The film won almost everything where it was selected for competition, including 6 awards at TIFF (Transilvania International Film Festival), and the Best Film Award in Alba Regia International Film Festival.
Other worldwide festivals are coming up next.

The movie won another "Best Film" award, at the Motovun International Film Festival (Croatia). That makes a total of 9 awards so far. I tried to update IMDB, but nothing. Still huge delays.

and i hope everybody will see this a much more mature romanian film, not just a mockery at the life people have to put up with sometimes.
