Amintiri din epoca de aur Tales from the Golden Age [videorecording]= Hanno Höfer Razvan Marculescu Cristian Mungiu - Romania Mobra Films Why Not Productions 2009 - 1 videodisc (ca. 141 min.) sound, color. 4 3/4 in. - David W. Foster Collection .
From case cover:
The final fifteen years of the Ceausescu regime were the wrost in Romania's history. Nonetheless, the propaganda machine of that time relentlessly referred to that period as the country's "golden age." Using the moniker as a starting point, Tales from the Golden Age spins the most popular, comic and bizarre urban legends from that harrowing period into a hilariously surreal omnibus film.
Acclaimed director Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days) wrote the scripts and commissioned the most talented young Romanian filmmakers to collaborate with him, including Razvan Marculescu (co-writer of The Death of Mr. Lazarescu and Tuesday, After Christmas) and Constantin Popescu (Portrait of the Fighter As a Young Man). With wit and style to spare, Tales perfectly re-captures the mood of a nation trying to survive under the twisted logic of a brutal dictatorship. It was an era when good was more important than money, freedom more important than love and survival more important than principles.
DVD video; Dolby Digital 5.1; surround; PAL; Region 2; 16:9 widescreen.
Romanian audio with French or Dutch subtitles.
