The Cars We Drove into Capitalism (2021)
Directed by Georgi Bogdanov, Boris Missirkov
Documentary, History, TV Movie · 1h 33m
A cinematic, character-driven insight to what it meant to produce and to own a car in communist times: the Socialist propaganda dreams and the hard reality of living that dream. The freedom that these slow and clumsy vehicles were giving to their owners; the cars as an instrument in the Cold War battle; legends and homemade tune-ups as an attempt to stand at least a little bit off the crowd.
