IHRE BEWERTUNG

Those in power have their own laws.
ItÂ’s impossible to stay out of the game. If you donÂ’t get in, youÂ’ll get involved against your will. Those in power make plans. The more influential they are, the more daring and clever their actions.
A mysterious perpetrator executes a monstrous crime whose elements follow a relentless logic: hostages, ransom, gunfire and explosions. Many are killed. But when all this is over, it becomes obvious that the events have created a complex labyrinth, in which the threads leading to the truth are gradually untangled.
Â“Operation TaradiddleÂ” is a political satire laden with the spirit of ChaplinÂ’s movies Â— comical yet simultaneously sad. It is a dynamic dark comedy showing what happened in Bulgaria in the 20 years after the fall of communism. This is a film about the new times and their sinister crimes. It tells the story of an ordinary man, an unemployed math teacher, who is accidentally involved in the big game of greed, politics and corruption. An intriguing tale about the secrets, which those in power cannot hide forever.
This filmÂ’s distinctive style is sprinkled with colorful ethnic details present only in KosturicaÂ’s movies and creating an atmosphere of absurdity characteristic of films like Â“Barton FinkÂ” and Â“BrazilÂ”.

Brilliant

Extremely intriguing film.

I"m pleasantly surprised.

I was expecting a different dynamic in the style of retro Bulgarian cinema... Especially at the beginning of the film it gives exactly this vibe.

But Vargala surprised me. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time, especially at this type of movie.

It's fun even though you can guess exactly how the plot will unfold. There aren't many surprises.

A classic plot, but with perfect execution.

This is one of the best Balkan comedies I've seen recently.

Bravo!

I didn't expect it to be anything impressive.

It was worth the extremely long filming time.
