Take a sparse rural Pennsylvania countryside village through a year-long drought, hit it with a category 3 hurricane, maintain a consistent overcast sky long after you sprinkle down a good New England snowfall, and you'll get the feel of the Romanian sticks and rural ghettos that make the setting of "Gadjo Dilo". Those who live by the cliché "times have changed" may want to kick themselves when they view this film.
"Gadjo Dilo" is a good film for those intrigued by a trial-and-error gauntlet through the inhospitable and the discouraged for that will o' the wisp ever-present within one's grasp. Of course, you'll have to endure Gypsy culture and cleanliness made so absent that even the common slob might reconsider housecleaning.
Like "Twelve Angry Men", there's a lopsided protagonist/antagonist displacement that transcends into protagonist unanimity, except that the feared gadje becomes a mild pincushion for criticism and then a source of amusement and glee.
I like this foreign film for having a realistic manner of telling a story as well as a visual test to those who wonder what would happen if you ventured unprepared into a backwoods world of untouchables.
