For media educator

The fast-paced farce inventively mixes the imaginary Middle Ages, historical facts, anachronisms that tickle the imagination, and start-up slang. The comedy of the film, which is full of both visual and verbal jokes, often leans towards black humor and in some places, it also borders on good taste.
