Ancient kings and medieval princes, Dracula's blood-kin, have had
starring roles on the Romanian big screen ever since the early
1960s. They all give insight into the kind of past enshrined by the
epic spectaculars of the former communist regime. As such, the
monster from the East, Vlad the Impaler, emerges from combat as a
hero warrior rather than a loathsome bloodsucker. This and other
iconic characters celebrate a shared sense of belonging, while all
of their actions are conducive to the public good. On film, the
greater good of your people is the stuff of history. The past
decade has seen the little men of modern Romania take to the
limelight. This time, the villain from the East is the go-getter,
the swindler, and the bad loser. The way the historical genre has
developed in Romania provides background on both audience reception
and the politics of re-enactment in popular cinema. This is the
first time that English-speaking readers have gained access to a
comprehensive selection of fiction films set in the Romanian past.
