Powerful
15 July 2010
Powerful, thrilling, full of life. It introduces you to the very simple, yet full of emotions life of the gypsies. It outlines their raw behavior, their spirited way of being, their unique way of dealing with problems and pain and, most of all, their charming culture (those scenes with dancing gypsies made me crave to learn dance like that).

The plot isn't very consistent - just a French guy who is looking for his father's favorite singer. But this is not the kind of movie in which the plot matters too much. Here, the plot is just a plea for the director to send Stéphane, a Paris citizen, to a Romanian gypsy hamlet in the middle of nowhere and get the chance to discover a whole new way of living.

The relation between Stéphane and Sabina does not turn the film into a romantic story. It covers just the right amount of the scenes; it's the salt and pepper the movie needs.

All this being said,I can only add Gadjo Dilo is surely a film worth watching.
