Featured review
What - and tell the neighbours that I'm going to gas a pig!!!!
A Humorous Look at the Dark Days of Communist Romania in the 1980's. A look back at Soviet Block Romania before transition - Ceacescu's
so-called 'Golden Age', and told in a series of short stories and
events based on urban legends that used to circulate in Romania
during that period. The dark humour, stoicism and pathos are abundant
and the whole cinematic experience is a true joy to watch. Tales from
the Golden Age can be equally likened to other slow paced cinema
gems such as Lake Tahoe, Vodka Lemon, Goodbye Lenin, The Return, 4
Months 3 Weeks & 2 Days, The Banishment and the wonderful Legacy. It
is one of those films that you can watch over and over again and
still find something new. So much different from standard mainstream Hollywood formula tosh of
today. To me they all provide to an outsider an education and greater
understanding of these peoples and places. An absolute gem.
