Review of Latcho Drom

Gypsy director Tony Gatlif succeeds in telling the story of gypsies from their originals in northern India, across Asia and Europe, through the centuries, all the way to Spain. Part anthropological documentary, part musical, party historical treatment, part political statement, this amazing movie may be my all time favorite film. Anybody looking to understand the Gypsy experience now and through the ages should see this film. Even if you don't care about gypsies, you should see it just for its shear beauty. It brings tears to my eyes even just thinking about how beautiful and powerful this movie is. Not only is the whole move a masterpiece but every single frame, every edit, every nuance is perfect. Yes it's that good!
