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.

I'm very disappointed that it wasn't nominated for Best Foreign Language Film by the Academy but I can understand why. It defies easy categorization and is just too full of the kind of quotidian details of life to be taken for a genuine feature film. But I think that's wrongheaded. I hope one day it will be recognized for the masterpiece it truly is.
