Tu Quoque

Marcus, a Roman senator, discovers his wife Flavia keeps a diary documenting all his failed jokes. Determined to prove his wit, he orchestrates a series of absurd performances involving slaves, gladiators, and even the emperor himself. This 2025 historical comedy explores the timeless theme of human vanity through the lens of the ancient world, where status depends not only on wealth but also on a well-timed punchline. The film balances farce and satire, demonstrating how the desire to be funny can lead to unexpected political ramifications. The director creates a vibrant carnival of togas and laurel wreaths where every character struggles to save face in both literal and figurative senses.
