MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

e-nicorici I love this movie. It reminds me of my colorful childhood. The director was an amazing person and he is the pride of our country. The soundtrack composed by Eugen Doga are simply perfect. I have just one issue here. In the summary, there is a mistake that really bothers andI would like to be fixed because it will confuse people that don't know anything about the history of Moldova. Bessarabia is not a part of Moldova. It is MOLDOVA. My country has two names - Moldova or Bessarabia. I know it's pretty messy and confusing, but that's how it is. I want proper information, regarding the movie.Overall, I love to see the movies made in Eastern Europe are listed here.

Kirpianuscus beautiful songs, beautiful story. inspired performances. wise manner to present/remember old traditions and a page of gypsy's past who could be seeds for the present problems. sweet, romantic, remembering pages from Russian classic literature, it is a beautiful film, mixture of magic, love, faith and rules who seduce and impress, first form of Bregovic's universe and soap opera. it reflects the circle 's pieces of a community and have a cut couple as lead characters. and not the story remains after its end in memory but the music. old songs, fascinating dances, strange forms of courage, freedom in different definition, the dangerous games, the high price of honor, the love in its large forms. a film who could have many sides. because it is an ethnographic trip, a dark fairy tale, a romantic story, a film with a generous message, an aesthetic delight.

kosmasp A movie that could only have been made in the 70s. Very free and very lyrical. Poetic but still very earnest with a touch of nudity. While nudity nowadays is not a big deal, I suppose it was back then (even through all the Flower Power movement). And therefor it got special mention before the screening (this year, 2010).This shouldn't be the reason for you to watch the movie though. There is other movies out there ready to be explored, if you are looking for that kind of thing. This movie on the other hand, just lives the free spirit and does not take a particular road. Or tells a great story for that matter. It's all about humans and gypsies in general (though that might not be the political correct term to call them). And a promise the movie makes, that is kept in the end ... not that you did not see that coming ... just saying

lerelieurfou it is simply the best gypsy movie, translating so well their thirst offreedom, for 'the road'...i saw it on tv as 'Les Tziganes s'en vontvers les cieux, in a children-family program, but i think it surpassesall the Kusturica-Gatlif spoofs depicting Gypsies. This one here depicts all the tragedy of the gypsy people, tornbetween materialism and freedom. The opening is a piece of anthology as the old sage predictsZabor his near future and warns him : Dont trust any woman...andremember 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 GarriBardine
