Long synopsis

Nostalgia for Dictatorship is a feature documentary structured into three parts that reflects the contemporary collective mentality towards communism. Most people feel nostalgic for the regime and all its perks (stable job, everybody owns a house, a good pension, frequent holidays). The others don’t feel nostalgia and can’t get past the lack of freedom of speech, the interference of special services in their lives and the overall terror. However, the opportunity to observe the past in a critical manner is reflected in relation to the present, when politics mostly do not meet people’s expectations.

Notes from the director

Nostalgia of Dictatorship is a feature documentary film who presents a unique syndrome of the collective mind in Romania, similar to other Eastern countries, in which a considerable part of the population still regrets the communist lifestyle. The film is reflective, presenting the opinions of both ordinary people and opinion leaders.
