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. The joke is twisted e.g. about torture, beatings, and other dark medieval topics. The use of language is coarse, in line with the sarcastic humor, and there is no cursing.
