After the Revolution
The film observes the situation in Bucharest in the period immediately following the 1989 revolution - a period of continual street protests against a government that took over from the Communist Party a bit too smoothly. You can see ordinary people talking passionately on the streets, filmed with patience and humour. Context and structure is provided by the political leaders and journalists, and the hurried (and heavily disputed) election. The 1990 election itself is covered in a crowded polling station and concludes with a press conference by the international election monitors who appear shocked by the amount of ‘irregularities’ they have seen.
