The Autobiography of Nicolae Ceaușescu is a 2010 Romanian documentary by Andrei Ujică that reconstitutes Ceaușescu's life entirely from television footage, archival material and broadcast interviews. Framed as the dictator's autobiography, the film juxtaposes propaganda with private moments, tracing how a personality cult was built and how the state manipulated memory. With no traditional narration, the viewer constructs the narrative from archival signals, challenging the boundary between propaganda and personal history.
