Perfidious Byzantine

The film constructs its comedic world by relying on anachronisms, grotesque portrayals of rulers, and a parodic take on historical tropes. It explores simple, effective humor ranging from slapstick to witty banter, resulting in a steady stream of lighthearted jokes.

Those who tire of serious period pieces will find relief in this unpretentious farce, where history is merely a backdrop for a series of silly encounters and eccentric characters. What lingers after is the memory of undemanding, cheerful entertainment. — MovieFinder Editorial
