Romanian writer and director Cristian Mungiu returns with a heavy dose of Romanian humor in six tales from the golden age of communism written by him and directed by several directors in an effort to introduce new talent on the world's biggest stage. The absurdist tales recount the times under the communist regime with titles such as "The Legend of the Official Visit," "The Legend of the Party Photographers," "The Tale of the Greedy Policeman," "The Legend of the Zealous Activist," "The Legend of the Air Sellers" and "The Legend of the Chicken Driver." Some films are better than others but they all get the points across that will startle all the fans of the Romanian cinema and beyond. YRCinema's coverage of the 62nd Festival de Cannes.
