Secretul armei secrete

I don't know what were the actors thinking, some of them were really good actors. The plot is thin , inconsistencies all over the place. Pity they wasted the resources. You are allowed to film at the Corvin Castle and this the final result? Even Harap Alb is better.

A truly postmodernist movie.Quite rare if we take in account the history of the place (Romanian cinematography !), but really a must.Bold ideas, humour all the way, history and literature intelligent quotes,charming characters and great (most of them) actors, situations the offer you the possibility to choose between a serious approach (e.g.the secret weapon - see what is the real secret and how it offers the possibility to improve, helas, to late, this "deep thinking piece of work") and an easier but still, full of satisfaction one ( the spoon fight or the gifted fairy who's so keen to sing her pathetic little song).Be ready for a good laugh and, if you have the time and will, for a good subject of deep thinking.Don't take it too serious though!

This one is really made in bad taste. What exactly is it? A musical? A silly science fiction piece? A fairy tale for the adults? The only thing, they get bored after just few minutes of watching. The actors grossly overdo it, and the whole thing tumbles down into farce. Could have been so much better! Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" gives a good example of how this kind of film should be done properly. As for this one, it provokes no emotions and creates no ideas. Weirdness reigns supreme, and it is not a good kind of weirdness... I've seen quite a few excellent Romanian films but this isn't one of them. My verdict: a complete waste of time...
