After the Fall of Communism in the early 1990s, a classified task force of high-rank Bulgarian Army officers led by a psychic channeler starts digging a hole in search of a mysterious artefact which will bring about the ultimate triumph.

Original and outlandish if only fitfully funny, the film rests considerably on the deadpan comic stylings of Oscar-nominated star Maria Bakalova.

Ultimately, the film excels as both a sharp political satire and a testament to Bakalova’s multifaceted talent and potential.

2/4

The picture emerges of an extremely backward, grasping and rather stupid ruling elite dreaming of “national greatness.”

Oddly inspired by real events, the initially clever film turns into a rather one-note joke spread super thin...The real reason to see the film is Bakalova’s comically committed performance.

Triumph doesn’t overstay its welcome, making for an overall entertaining if unremarkable Eastern European watch that doesn’t quite reach the same level of success as Grozeva and Valchanov’s previous film, 2014’s The Lesson.

4/5

Triumph is a marvellous and timely piece of satirical filmmaking that reflects not only the past but the present.
