Secretul lui Zorillo

Finally, afer years of waiting, I'm glad that my fellows from Romania have given a really absurd, but in my taste of comedy. Yes, scenes and situations remindded me of Mel Brooks or Monty Python (and other great comedians), but overall, a Romanian film which do not expose the black days of communism or present gray of today living. Just enjoy and laugh like I did! Idid not understand why this film has such a low percentage of good rewiews.

Wonderful landscapes of our country, great scenography, no faulty acting, insane idea and story unflawed by nothing. Great satire from from start, when a child brings a corn cob to his mother (or so), mailing a message... In my opinion, is a fantastic satire against the fanatics who reinvent the Dacia's history. Anyway, it their right to appear as they are.

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!

If it wasn't for the soundtrack and the nice landscapes I would've given this film a 1/10. The characthers are uninteresting,the acting is mid, the story is boring, the structure of the narrative is messy, the jokes are unfunny and distasteful and the overall experience felt like I was wasting my time. I definitely not recommend seeing this in theaters sorry.

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.

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The action may be set in ancient times, but the theme is not out of date, and i saw the movie as a satire filled with comedy on the actual romanian society in particular, and society in general.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