Tales from the Golden Age (Romanian: Amintiri din epoca de aur) is a 2009 Romanian omnibus film. It was screened as part of the Un Certain Regard section at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
The film is composed of six whimsical, yet blackly comic short stories, each one set in the late Communist period in Romania and based on urban myths from the time, reflecting the perspective of ordinary people. The title of the film refers to the alleged "Golden Age" (by Bolshevik propaganda) of the last 15 years of Nicolae Ceaușescu's regime. Each episode concludes with "legend tells us... ", each item being legend because, of course, no such thing could have happened during the "Golden Age".
