GADJO DILO (1997)

Jon W. — Wed, 03 Jun 2026 07:58:58 +0000

Stéphane, a young Parisian, goes to Romania to search for Nora Luca, a Roma singer harshly criticized by Roma activists for allegedly denigrating Roma’s image that his father listened to incessantly in the last days of his life. His search takes him to a gypsy village where he befriends Izidor and witnesses the pains and joys of the Romani experience.

Far from romanticizing Roma communities, Tony Gatlif continues in The Crazy Stranger with the portrait of minorities excluded from cinema’s dominant representation. Therefore, the Roma community is shown in all its vitality, passion, and talent, but also in its tendency towards inebriation, crime and violence, a result of the segregation and xenophobia of the world around them.

Director: Tony Gatlif. AKA The Crazy Stranger

Stars: Romain Duris, Rona Hartner, Izidor Serban, Ovidiu Balan, Angela Serban, Aurica Ursan, Vasile Serban, Ioan Serban, Gheorge Gherebenec, Dan Astileanu, Valentin Teodosiu, Petre Nicolae, Calman Kantor, Florin Moldovan, Adrian Simionescu, Luminita Paun, Jean Paun, Petre Costescu.

LES AMOUREUX DE DIEU (1998)

Jon W. — Thu, 14 May 2026 04:16:55 +0000

In Macedonia, former Yugoslavia, two Sheikhs squabble for power in a Dervish brotherhood. In this fragile, unsteady society, far from God and traditional Sufism, their petty quarrel focuses on the issue of which group will pierce themselves at the Nevruz ceremony. Through the rivalry between these two characters, who correspond to two opposing archetypes of religious leaders, the documentary offers a living glimpse of spiritual experience at a popular level which, despite the humorous situations and extraordinary images, may shock our sensitivity.

Director: Dan Alexe. AKA Howling for God
Writer: Dan Alexe.
Cinematographer: Philippe Guilbert.
Composer: Naat Veliov.
