Mircea

A powerful movie! One that every Romanian should watch at least once in his lifetime. Not to brag about anything but to be inspired by the untamed forever freedom fighter spirit our kin had naturally since it's creation. After communism seized power in the country, they hunted down and eliminated the intellectual freedom loving elite that would not bend the knee to the new authoritarian regime, so those who have this flame burning inside them were rare. However, we are having a slow yet steady recovering of our soul values.

I highly recommend you with all my heart to watch this movie! I was pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the imagery, splendid natural landscapes, beautiful vintage soundtrack, large scale battles with awesome suits of armor, incredibly beautiful costumes and so on.

The movie is far from perfect, the dancers in the beginning are completely out of sync, some seem lost really and one almost falls, the acting is in some seconds clumsy, yet it does not break the immersion and magical feeling of the movie.

For the time and resources it had, is a true gem of the past!
