alexdv This movie is a lie about romanian gypsy,I am from Romania and I can tell you that is a shame ...romanian gypsy are people that don't like to work,they beg, steel, rob, rape...Our country is suffering and now that the borders are open other countries will see what gypsy are,in fact Italy,Spain are already full of them.The problem is that people think that romanians are the same as romanian gypsy,we are not,we are very different.You will see this comment like a racist one but after you will meet our gypsy you will understand.The movie is good,but the prolem is that romanians people made a film ,a good film,about gypsy when they are not ,they are nothing like this...Watch the movie,enjoy the movie but remember that a gypsy is nothing like this.And don't make confusion between a romanian and a gypsy

JOHNAMI This is a unique film that uses both fiction and reality to tell its story. It is the third film in Tony Gatlif's trilogy about the Romany people, more commonly referred to as Gypsies. The other films in the series are Les Princes (1983), which, so far, I have been unable to purchase or rent, and Latcho Drom (1993).Tony Gatlif elicits some fine performances from the non-actors in the cast. The direction and editing of the film are excellent and provide the needed support for the documentary aspects that are intertwined with the fictional narrative. The viewer feels very much involved in the fast paced, often changing activities of the characters.Holding everything together is an endearing performance by the popular actor, Roman Duris, who is the protagonist in the film and whose open-mindedness and adaptability allow the story to be viewed objectively. There are many funny scenes, and, as in Latcho Drom, a great deal of original, entertaining Romany music.

duk3 Gadjo Dilo stroked me in a most unconventional way. I saw it at a friend without knowing or expecting what it will be about. Very realistic and sincere, with raw images and beautiful shots, it simply shook me up. The way gypsies are presented is a true insight of their culture and way of living. The acting, done by amateurs at most, is flawless, especially by Izidor who delivers perfectly. Even if the story is hardly present, the movie doesn't need one as it slowly goesdeep with drama, comedy, ethnicity and music. Overall Gadjo Dilo (free translation Crazy Dude) is an unexpected gem from Tony Gatlif that is different from everything I've seen. Misto!

magnus-pettersson There's several reasons for it. Rona Hartner's acting. Adrian "Copilu minune" Simionescu's music and, maybe most of all, Izidor Serban's intensity. As far as I know, he is a complete acting amateur. My wife is Romanian, and I play bass with one, maybe the only, gypsy orchestra in Sweden - with roma from Macedonia, Serbia and Bulgaria. I know their language a bit, but it is not the same dialect as in the movie, which I guess is "kaldarash", the guys in the band speaks "arlija". We do some of Adrian's songs, though... If you liked this movie I recommend the documentary "Iag Bari", which is a film about the moldovan gypsy brass band Fanfare Ciocârlia.
