Film Notes

Apparently a serial film with a strong man, Ajax, as the main character. He ends up in scenes that, when not outright gags, stop the story from moving forward, offering moments of pure comedy. The protagonist’s great physical strength is not used this time to save the world from bad guys but for getting Socrates back: strength at the service of philosophy? Not exactly, considering that Socrates is the parrot of Ajax’s domineering girlfriend… A masterpiece with a great rhythm.
