‘Tales from the Golden Age’ hits Romanian cinemas today
‘Amintiri din Epoca de Aur’ (Tales from the Golden Age) is a complicate movie. It started as a trilogy, with ‘4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days’ and continues with two films: the first is named ‘Comrades, How Beautiful Life Is!’ (comprising four episodes) and will reach cinemas this Friday, while the second – ‘Love in the Spare Time’ (two episodes) will enter the market on October 23. “It is a collective movie. I took it to Cannes in May, then it sold to 30 countries. Now we want to see whether a comedy is still able to bring the public in halls in Romania, or see if people still enjoy art movies,” the young director explained. Cristian Mungiu considers that the best audience for ‘Tales from the Golden Age’ – a film based on his own screenplay and directed jointly with Ioana Uricaru, Hanno Hoefer, Razvan Marculescu and Constantin Popescu – is to be found in the Romanian communities living abroad.
Photograph exhibition at the Romanian Peasant Museum
The photo exhibition “Open doors and windows,” organised as part of the project “Village collections from Romania. Patrimony and local identity,” which wants to identify and promote the village collections and encourage the collectors, will be open today at the Romanian Peasant Museum from Bucharest. The photos were taken at the Straw Hat Museum of Lajos Szocs from Criseni, at “Vatra cu dor” museum-house of Paul Buta from Sivita, at the Pastoral museum of Ileana Morariu from Jina, at “Zulfie Totay” museum-house of Zulfia Seidali from Cobadin, or at “Radacina Vrancei” Museum-house of Costica Besa from Barsesti. “In the rural area there are private collections of ethnographic interest, museum-houses or even small museums made by enthusiastic persons, without a specialized training, in personal households or in spaces acquired with their own money. These spaces are considered “museums” by both the initiators and the community, and they are even visited by tourists, although some of them are not yet prepared to cope with them,” MTR representatives say.
