It is a unique experience!

This is a must-watch movie for everyone who has ever had an ounce of interest in Greek antiquity! You can see just how much fun the actors had making this film, and bringing to life the tragedies we have all come to love. Right from the start, you get completely immersed in the story by the sand art, followed by amazing dialogue filled to the brim with jokes and references to Monty Python, for example. The music (tailor-made for this picture!) is the icing on the cake.

Keeping in mind that this movie was made with zero budget and by self-proclaimed amateur filmmakers, this film exceeds all possible expectations and deserves way more recognition. I know for a fact that my friends and I will be chanting the Frog Song daily for at least six more months!

Fun romp through antiquity

Amazing adaptation of ancient source material! I was really reminded of Monty Python (without the cringeworthy out-of-touch humor). The dead guy was hilarious, the musical numbers were so good - I couldn't get them out of my head. I was amazed at the quality of the production, given that these are amateur actors/filmmakers/you-name-it. I loved the sand art, this was a really beautiful artistic touch.

I wonder what the next sequel will be? Maybe Aristophanes' "The Clouds"? I really look forward to what these creative filmmakers come up with next. I'll be the first in line at the movie theater!
