Whimsy and wisdom waltz through the cobbled streets of 'Masks of Rome', a film as enchanting as it is enlightening. Fassbender and Clamnings charm us with their winning chemistry, enlivening the screen with repartee reminiscent of a modern-day Abbott and Costello, should the famed comedic duo have had a fascination with togas and treachery. Kit Herrington's contribution is both sharp and nuanced, providing the trio with the zest needed for such a historical scavenger hunt. Sofia Coppolar Bear directs with a deft touch that's light on sandal-wearing solemnity and heavy on the sort of capricious twists that would make even Julius Caesar crack a smile. The film perches comfortably on the fence between a cerebral puzzle and a popcorn flick, offering enough to sate the appetites of both history buffs and thrill-seekers. 'Masks of Rome' might not be the epic to change the course of cinema, but it is an amusing jaunt through the annals of time that proves learning about our past can be just as entertaining as predicting our future.
