The best performance!

Bachus, ("The secret of Bachus" in original) is one of the best comedy in romanian movie history and also one of the best performance of the late actor Stefan MIHAILESCU - Braila. A lot of spectators, saw in the character of mr. Mihailescu - Braila BACHUS one of the deth convict of the Ceausescu, a man who made unlegal (for comunist state) business of billion of lei (million of dollars). But the quality of the script, the actors, (the best actors of the romainan comedy scene) and the director ) also a titan of romanian comedy) transform all into a movie which wring tears of laugh. If a movie could be carry on shoulders, half of this movie is carry by Stefan MIHAILESCU - Braila.

Typical Romanian production: over the top acting, real story, horrid sound

Some of the best actors in the "great generation" play in this film. The story is incredibly ironic, since it exposes chronic corruption, endemic during (and after) the Romanian revolution, but then switches to the police forces capturing all involved at the last moment. A so thinly veiled attack at the pre 1989 Romanian society that it's amazing the film was ever allowed to exist. As Romanian films go, this is not bad. Compared to today's standards of production, though, it's pretty hard to watch. I guess it remains one of those movies that will only appeal to people living under systemic corruption... which should be a lot.
