Director: Tony Gatlif
Actors: Marc Lavoine / Marie-José Croze / J. Thiérrée / Rufus / C. Brandt / G. Babluani
WINNER - 2009 Montreal World Film Festival
Grand Prize of the Americas
Award, Audience Award & Special Mention from Ecumenical Jury
The multi-award winning new film from Tony Gatlif is an historical drama
based on real-life stories of gypsies rounded up in the German-occupied
France of 1943.
A Gypsy family travels the French roads during the Second World War.
Upon reaching a town where they traditionally stop for a few months
and work in vineyards, they learn that a new law forbids them from
being nomadic. Moved by their situation, the town's mayor, and the
schoolteacher, help the gypsies find some land where they must settle.
But, just as it has for hundreds of years, the Gypsies' deeply ingrained
thirst for freedom makes this sedentary lifestyle difficult to bear...
Gatlif's depiction of the 'gypsy soul' has never been more visceral – and
as usual, music infuses the film with meaning. This magnificent paean to
the mad ecstasy of freedom is his best achievement so far.
