Secretul lui Zorillo

Saw the movie on the opening night with some friends, and we liked it.

The action is set in ancient occupied Dacia ( actual Romania), in the post roman wars times, and depicts the adventures and struggles of three commoners who are in the search for some meaning and glory in their life, using all the means to trick both local and imperial authority, and being half-wits, but sly, luck seems to shine upon them occasionally.

The action may be set in ancient times, but the theme is not out of date, and i saw the movie as a satire filled with comedy on the actual romanian society in particular, and society in general.

The score was inspired, as was the casting department. I enjoyed the camera work and direction in particular.

Highly recommended!

The movies was really fun to watch and had a lot of funny scenes in it with subtle (or not so subtle) references to what some people in Romania believe Dacians were.

If you don't know about the jokes about people who believe Dacians invented a lot of things but "the foreign people" stole those ideas, the secret Dacian passages under Bucegi mountains, things about Romanian culture and society, etc... you won't find the movie fun to watch. That's the reason why there is a lot of tech/modern instruments in this parody... because they make fun of people who actually believe that Dacians invented "everything" and the Romans stole their "tech".

Looking forward for part 2 :D.

I'm Romanian and I'm very disappointed that we make this kind of cringe mockery movies, is not even comedy the script is very bad I didn't even laugh at any jokes they think that are made to be funny, but they aren't any jokes to laugh! I think this movies is only for low brain people who can't even read that is the public for this movie! This is the reason I prefer watch Korean series! Romanian movies industry is a big joke! Not wonder why analphabetism rate in Romania is 40%..because of this movies that not teach you anything!

This movie is a great comedy, but one only romanians will understand.. It contains subtle jokes about the romanian society, corruption, moronic people, patriotic fanatism, and many more. It's difficult to understand the movie if you are not a romanian, or didn't at least live in Romania.

You have to take it with a pinch of salt. Many romanians get triggered because they find themselves in there. Take a chill pill and enjoy, it's a comedy.

I hoped this would be something funny maybe even smart but it was just idiotic and not funny at all. Does not worth the time. There is no beginning and no end. There is nothing making sense. There is little making you laugh. Look for something else.
