Nonetheless, the propaganda machine of that time referred without fail to that period as "the golden age"... Tales from the Golden Age adapts for screen the most popular urban myths of the period. Comic, bizarre, surprising myths abounded, myths that drew on the often surreal events of everyday life under the communist regime. Humor is what kept Romanians alive, and Tales from the Golden Age aims to re-capture that mood, portraying the survival of a nation having to face every day the twisted logic of a dictatorship. -- (C) Official Site

New Review For Movie Tales from the Golden Age
The collection is a mixed bag, although there are no clunkers.
V.A. Musetto-New York Post There are moments, especially in the first two tales, that conjure a maniacal Chaplinesque verve.
Stephen Holden-New York Times Bracketed by the Ceausescu anthem, the movie recalls a social disaster in painstaking detail and with a measure of ambivalent love.
J. Hoberman-Village Voice Though much lighter than the country's art-house fare of the past few years, the collection serves as a sampler of the much-heralded Romanian cinema.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail It's a frustrating case of individual triumph cancelling out collective cohesion in this sporadically enjoyable, if tonally mismatched, anthology of five short films.
David Jenkins-Time Out [The directors'] youth and talent should allay fears that the country's film explosion is incapable of hitting a broad range of notes, and offer hope that more mainstream, home-grown offerings can spur cinema building within Romania.
Jay Weissberg-Variety 'Golden' opportunity for foreign-language film buffs.
James Verniere-Boston Herald All the stories have their merits, celebrating a people amusingly out of step with their stalwart, demented leaders.
Gerald Peary-Boston Phoenix This deeply human array of short films dealing with Communist Romania provides many a well-observed laugh and moment of hard-pressed economic truth.
David Noh-Film Journal International it is hard to comprehend a mindset that wouldn't be entertained and invigorated by the six shorts that make up Tales from the Golden Age.
Chris Cabin-Filmcritic.com Puiu's a skillful widescreen filmmaker, but he's also an urban snob who finds farm animals backward and funny.
Armond White-New York Press Has the so-called Romanian New Wave slowed to a trickle?
Andrew Schenker-Slant Magazine Boasts tonal cohesiveness but also a dispiriting lack of bite.
Nick Schager-House Next Door All the short movies that make up Tales From the Golden Age employ the sort of black humour that suggests you'd better laugh, or you'll cry.
Liz Braun-Jam! Movies More often than not, this mixed bag hits its mark, but in two drawn-out stories, the rhythm, not to mention the absurdist plot twists, fall flat.
Kent Turner-Film-Forward.com Every tale is engaging, but not wildly amusing - still, I can imagine Romanian viewers enjoying it. In other words, perhaps you had to be there.
Edward Porter-Sunday Times (UK) This is a low-key, deadpan movie and the jokes creep up on you.
Philip French-Observer [UK] Flashes of bleak humour makes this wry portrait a compelling experience.
Helen OHara-Empire Magazine Shot with clarity and plenty of dry humour, this impressive collection of five short films is proof of the youthful vitality of the New Romanian Cinema.
Tom Dawson-Film4 While this wry, sometimes poignant collection ultimately runs a little long, it serves as a useful introduction to the talent that makes Romania the place to look for exciting new voices in cinema.
Wendy Ide-Times [UK] The dark laughter involved is Romania's way of staying sane, not merely at the time but, also, in a way, right now. Comedy is a way of looking back at the horror without the rage and despair becoming unendurable.
