Not bad but…
…not as good as “Time of the Gypsies” (1988) Dom za vesanje (original title) or “Black Cat, White Cat”(1998) Crna Macka, Beli Macor (original title), both directed by Emir Kusturica or “I Even Met Happy Gypsies” (1967) Skupljaci Perja (original title) of Aleksandar Petrovic. Despite the fact that we have an entire orchestra of good and very good actors, such as Sterling Hayden, Shelley Winters, Susan Sarandon, Judd Hirsch, Eric Roberts, Brooke Shields, Annette O’Toole, Annie Potts, the film does not have consistency, it’s only a mediocre attempt to show how gypsies really are. Eric Roberts is honest in his role debut. Susan Sarandon is more beautiful than ever and very talented as always. Best of all is Judd Hirsch he’s the most natural and believable gypsy. Beautiful music with Stéphane Grappelli, accompanied by other talented musicians.
about Steriotypical gypsie life
Everyone should see this movie, I first saw this on TV when I was about 5 years old, I never forgot this movie, it made a lasting impression on me. Judd Hersche, who plays the mean abusive father, is great. It shows him in a opposite light than what everybody is used. The acting and story is superb.Real quick summary: It portrays a steriotypical image of gypsy culture. There is a self proclaimed “King” whom all the gypsies acknowledges. The king has a son, Judd hershe, who assumes he is going to be king, but he’s a mean S.O.B, he makes his son, Eric roberts, run away and live on the streets, Eric does not want to have anything to do with the gypsies. The “King” wants him to be the next King of the Gypsies.
Just go see it, it’s great 4 stars
