it is simply the best gypsy movie, translating so well their thirst of
freedom, for 'the road'...i saw it on tv as 'Les Tziganes s'en vont
vers les cieux, in a children-family program, but i think it surpasses
all the Kusturica-Gatlif spoofs depicting Gypsies. This one here depicts all the tragedy of the gypsy people, torn
between materialism and freedom. The opening is a piece of anthology as the old sage predicts
Zabor his near future and warns him : Dont trust any woman...and
remember that freedom is the most important value...' And ahhh....Svetlana!!! so marvelous dancing and saying to Zabor
: 'Dont look at me this way, it's forbidden...' To see for the proudness, the height of the feelings, the friendship,
the love, so pure....but leading to tragic endings in a gadjo world... a must for gypsy-movies lovers as much as : Autrefois, nous étions des oiseaux, from Garri
