“Amintiri din Epoca de Aur 1 – Tovarăşi, frumoasă e viaţa!”

(Tales from the Golden Age 1 – Comrades, how lovely is life!)

is the first of two films of Cristian Mungiu and other directors about urban legends in communism in the 80ies in Romania. Although the episodes are ironical portraits, I think this film is a good opportunity for people who come from abroad, to gain a little insight into this part of Romanian history, concentrating on the daily life of the small people. You can see the film in Bucharest’s cinemas until Thursday 8th of October.

Tip: At “Studio” the film is shown with English subtitles. At cinema “Studio” they are screening it daily at 10:00, 12:30 (5 RON per ticket, even on weekends!), 15:00, 17:30 and 20:00 (8 RON) Also have a look at the photo-exhibition at the entrance to the cinema hall about impressions from the 70ies to 90ies. The cinema “Studio” is located on Bd. Magheru Nr. 29, across the street from McDonalds, close to Pţ. Romana.
