Tales from the Golden Age is a group effort assembled by Cristian Mungiu (4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days). While much of the detail will be missed by those of us who did not live behind the Iron Curtain, they paint a picture of what that life may have been like. Subjects and stories that may be funny today but were serious and common situations during that time.

Ooh this one sounds really good!
Looks really interesting based on the screen shots.
This looks really good. I need to try to get my hands on this.
I immediately spotted the pig in the living room first, haha. Also, Communism is really interesting to me - reading about China and Russia during those times is both fascinating and depressing.
Definitely checking this out!
A smuggled pig, who that family is trying to slaughter quietly, so they wont have to share it with the entire apartment block. Meat was a scarce commodity in those times, because the government exported it all as part of an effort to pay off the national debt.
Sweetness. I have always wondered what it would be like to live under a communist regime during the Cold War. I suppose movies are probably going to be the best bet behind a good novel to help me feel the iron fist crushing my soul.
Yeah, fortunately we only have to see it through fiction.
