The Paper Will Be Blue
THE ROMANIAN NEW WAVE
Director: Radu Muntean.
Romania, 2000.
100 mins. Romanian with English subtitles.
Set during the confusing night of 22 December 1989, when Ceausescu was about to fall after decades of harsh dictatorship. The original inspiration for the film was a tragic incident that
received considerable media attention, in which two armoured squads of Interior Ministry troops who went to protect a military unit were accidentally butchered. Radu Muntean (BOOGIE, TUESDAY AFTER CHRISTMAS) creates a highly unusual, personal view of those days.
