More than slice-of-life, Radu Muntean's "Tuesday, After Christmas" is dice-of-life, but the dissected minutiae of this adultery drama unfortunately doesn't add up to a very original or moving whole.

CANNES -- More than slice-of-life, Romanian director Radu Muntean's Tuesday, After Christmas is dice-of-life -- but the dissected minutiae of this adultery drama unfortunately doesn't add up to a very original or moving whole. Lovers of neo-neo-realism will extol the film's painstaking honesty so Tuesday can count on extensive festival exposure and auteur venues -- Muntean's forte. It will not have much television or DVD play across borders though.
