During the summary trial that he and his wife were submitted to, Nicolae Ceausescu is reviewing his long reign in power: 1965-1989. From a formal point of view, The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu proves that it is possible to only use existing images to yield films focused on recent history, yet with an epic vein similar to that of the historical fiction cinema. This is an eminently syntactic endeavor, where montage plays a twofold part: mise-en-scene, as it builds scenes... (Full plot summary below)

Full Plot Details

During the summary trial that he and his wife were submitted to, Nicolae Ceausescu is reviewing his long reign in power: 1965-1989. From a formal point of view, The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu proves that it is possible to only use existing images to yield films focused on recent history, yet with an epic vein similar to that of the historical fiction cinema. This is an eminently syntactic endeavor, where montage plays a twofold part: mise-en-scene, as it builds scenes that do not exist as such in the rushes, and classical editing, connecting scenes together.

Movie Reviews

DCist - 10/10 by Ian BuckwalterThe Autobiography of Nicolae Ceauşescu is all about created perception, and Ujică brilliantly manages to craft a film that is not just about a real character, but a formal reflection of its subject.
Washington Examiner - 9/10 by Kelly Jane TorranceWe'll never know what one of history's monsters thought.... But The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceausescu manages somehow to get us into his twisted mind nonetheless.
Clarín - 9/10 by Diego MatéThe idea of ​​an autobiography then arises from the official character of the images: the majority, taken by Romanian television during public events under the orders of the regime. [Full review in Spanish]
The New Republic - 7/10 by Stanley KauffmannIt leaves us almost gasping with its impudence.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Nicolas RapoldAs Ujica digs deeper, he enacts a petard-hoisting watchfulness.
User Review - 10/10 by Pittaya Spropaganda material from the reign of Nicolae Ceausescu fused into a film told in the form of an autobiography/perspective of nicolae. Only the film's beginning and end contains excerpts from the tv court interview. Dramatic Ironical Film
User Review - 8/10 by Ivan Vgreat documentary footage from Ceausescu life from 1966 to 1989
User Review - 8/10 by Anne BI saw this in Toronto in 2010. It's a 3-hour documentary that's worth the time commitment.
User Review - 8/10 by Scott RKeep in mind that most Romanians today think life was better during communism (including during Ceausescu's leadership--and a defensive communism under global capitalist rule at that) than it is now under capitalism. And note how the democratic/liberal revolutionaries treated Ceausescu and his wife: trial by kangaroo court and summary execution/assassination. "Coup" is much more truthful than "genocide".
User Review - 6/10 by William MInteresting biography by using nothing but video clips since the beginning of Nicolae CeauÅescu's ccareer. The meetings of communist and socialist political decisions made on a whim, emotional speeches are made as they happened, the cheering is eeire at times. I appreciate the honestey that can be seen in this film in the use of all actual footage with no narration ou need to know your communist history and I was somewhat surprised I recalled as much as I did :) definately not for everyone but an eye opening look into the life and death of the paralyzing leader of Romania. For refference the Dialouge in this 3 Hour film is subtitled
