Quarter to Two Before Jesus Christ

Quarter to Two Before Jesus Christ

198282 min6.0 / 10

A anarchic, anachronism-laden satire of peplum films that uses absurdist humor and modern intrusions to mock both ancient Rome and contemporary consumer culture.

In ancient Rome, a simple pepboy for chars becomes involved in a coup against Cesar. Rahatlocum is a North African Roman colony where Julius Caesar came to spend an expensive holiday. The revolt rumbles among the locals who find a leader in the person of Ben-Hur Marcel.
