I'm an Old Communist Hag (2013)
The film tells the story of a generation that cannot adapt to the reality post-revolution. Nostalgic Emilia tries to keep alive the golden age.

Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
The movie is, well, nice. As a Romanian that lived a significant part of the life under communist rule, then witnessed the changes after 1989, I got the message. It's a nice movie, a rather friendly-sarcastic than critical approach to our approach on life. One step close to being too "minimalist" at times, or too "caricaturesque" or forced at times, the film is pretty close to what Romanian life and attitude to life means. Don't expect to find the book ad literam. The film is a little subversive, like some of the pre-1989 movies, and this is a carefully staged effect. The main character is very well portrayed by Luminita Gheorghiu. Great actress!
