Film

'The Great Communist Bank Robbery'

A documentary about the making of one of the strangest films in the history of cinema, Reconstruction, which was completed in 1960 and was about a real robbery that happened in Romania in 1959. Here's the twist: The people playing the bank robbers are the people who actually committed the crime. The Romanian Communist Party promised to drop the death sentence if the gang—five men and one woman—reenacted the robbery. (See movie times.)
