OFX partner River Lunsford presents 12:08 East of Bucharest, hailed as one of the best films of the Romanian New Wave cinema. On December 22, the anniversary of the former Romanian president’s overthrow and attempted escape during the 1989 Revolution, a small town, east of Bucharest, questions their role and legacy in the revolution. As the characters observe their modern world and wonder if anything really changed at all, we’re presented with a satire only former communist Eastern Europe is capable of delivering.

If you don’t know anything about Romania, or formerly communist Romania, or communism, fear not—River loves to yap about the Eastern bloc.
