In its repetition, "sorrow conquers everything" becomes at once an absurdly reductive dictum and quite possibly a hard-won truth; a snippet of folk wisdom; a subtitle in a grainy art-house offering of the 1950s or '60s; an angsty adolescent's diary entry; or the second line of a melancholy haiku.

That he works in the grammar of European avant-garde cinema—often employing long takes in which nothing much happens, building toward climactic scenes in which all too much happens—rather than in the vernacular of Hollywood thrillers and action films raises another question: Is he merely preaching to a choir of festival juries and art-house audiences?
That movie sits at roughly the chronological midpoint of Film Forum's series, which highlights acclaimed films from the 1990s ("The Oak," on Friday and Saturday, from Lucian Pintilie, who had run afoul of Communist authorities during Ceausescu's reign) and work from New Wavers like Cristi Puiu, whose "Stuff and Dough" (on Monday) preceded his art-house sensation "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu" (on Sunday).

To the Editor: For most of us who never lived in New York City or other major cities with art house cinemas, our first exposure, often our only exposure, to the classics, from John Ford to Orson Welles to Douglas Sirk to Ingmar Bergman to Akira Kurosawa to Preston Sturges, was watching these movies on TV, usually on a local public television station on Saturday night, then from renting Netflix DVDs or catching them on Turner Classic Movies.
