A bizarre film within a film, THE GREAT COMMUNIST BANK ROBBERY recaps the surreal 1959 robbery of the Romanian National Bank in Bucharest by a masked gang. The Stalinist government arrested six individuals and forced them to reenact the heist under the impression they would be spared the death penalty. They were subsequently shot, only after reenacting their own trials. Solomon’s documentary incorporates the eerie 1959 footage and explores the strange and astonishing facts. In English and Romanian with English subtitles. DigiBeta video courtesy of Cinema Guild. (BS)
