Coroana de foc

A few great elements combined with some completely uninspired choices. The result? A kitsch.

Let me start with the strengths of this movie, to show consideration for its fans. First of all, Sergiu Nicolaescu of course. Great! He conveys value to everything he takes part in (even to his grandchildren's birthdays I suppose :) ).Exquisite scenery and costumes. And that's all.

Concerning the weaknesses... Perfunctory script. And the soundtrack, oh my God, worthy of a soap-opera. Melodramatic scenes backed by an uncanny childish happy music. To cut the story short, don't watch it unless you have a bad tooth ache. Really, go rent any other movie instead!

Ok, this is my first ever review. The movie in cause, the "Coroana de foc" have the best title that could be ever found because it is representing the great responsability that is on the shoulders of one nation's ruler. As all the other movies of Sergiu Nicolaescu, the costumes are excelent created, the action is very good directed and the fighting scenes are extremely realistic and dramatic. This movie must be seen.

like many films of Sergiu Nicolaescu, "Coroana de foc" has a precise target - his fans. and this does not it a bad film but only expression of good intentions. because , it is a mix of fairy tale and fake history. the emotion is imposed. the moral lesson becomes obligatory. all - the music, the costumes, the script, the performances are walls of a cell. and, after its end, respecting the noble intentions, you suppose than, under the Comunist, for the director was better than in the frame of freedom , who support romantic dreams but ignores the chances to be the dreams of a large public.
