As being a Hungarian myself, I might have a soft spot for this film, but I find it extremely funny anyway.
However, I feel I should add some background to those who never lived in a totalitarian personality cult. An era where the best was to keep your mouth shut even among your best friends, for you could not be sure who will report on you. In an era where a big black car might have stopped at your house in the middle of the night to take you and never let you go again. In an era where when deciding about executives, it was your loyalty that mattered not your skill or know-how. Where everyone stated the lemon to be an orange, if it was the dictum of the leaders. Where not clapping hard enough when "our leader" Rakosi addressed the crowd was enough for imprisonment.
All the events described in this film might seem absurd - but I have to say they easily could have and did happen during the '50s in the East of Europe.
Although the regime softened a bit, in 1969 making this film was still not the safest thing to. Not surprisingly it wasn't aired for almost a decade. But since then, it became a cult film by any means. Lines like "Well, comrade Pelikan, life is not all beer and skittles.." are known and quoted by everyone. Yes, laughing at them is mortal to any dictatures...

This is the film I wanted to watch so badly, and this is the film I came to watch only days after the LotR: FotR after which no fantasy movies could impress me.
The film was interesting, and I like the Arthurian legend, I like the storyline, the script, but somehow, like I wrote before, the film is badly made. Maybe the reason for this is that it was made 20 yrs ago. However, I hated the silly green light on the sword that was meant to be eerie, I hated those armours that looked so new (even if they were meant to be there). The music (Carmina Burana: O Fortuna) wasn't bad either, but for God's sake, it was used in the wrong parts...
So overall: I like it, but it could have been made to be better.
