Secretul lui Zorillo

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The action may be set in ancient times, but the theme is not out of date, and i saw the movie as a satire filled with comedy on the actual romanian society in particular, and society in general.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

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.

This movie is just amazing. Every part of it. Even the advertising. The jokes are extremely subtle and go over your head if you are not paying attention but I was dying laughing. The subtlety. Genius. Genius!!!

Film by Romanians for Romanians, inside jokes are half of them. Also, "smart " jokes. Am I saying you are not smart if you dont get them? Well, also beautiful scenery too. And so much wordplay 😆😆

If you are looking for a Genius comedy movie as a romanian this is the movie. This is what you are looking for. With all that said, Barza varza viezure!

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.
