Latcho Drom - Train Stop Scene in Hungary

Director:
Tony Gatlif
Writer:
Tony Gatlif

Latcho Drom (rom for "safe journey") describes the travels, singing and dancing of 'Gypsy' groups from Rajahstan (India), Egypt, Turkey, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, France, and Spain. Some scenes are acted, but there is no dialogue or narration--only partial translation of some songs. The film illustrates the variety of conditions in which the 'Gypsy' people live--earthbound nomads in the hot deserts of Asia, ironsmiths and abjectly poor tree-dwellers in the frozen plains of Eastern Europe, and craftspeople and traders in the hills and seasides of north Africa and western Europe. It also illustrates the similarities in travel habits, musical tones (spoons, open drums, and string-based rhythms) and song themes (celebration of travel and perceived rejection by sedentary locals).

I love the expression on the boy's face when the music starts... hat is an expression of pure joy.

Me encanta esta escena. Es bien fuerte el contraste entre la familia extendida de los gitanos y la mujer triste sola con su hijo. Pero, entonces el gesto del niño de bailar para contentar a su madre es realmente conmovedor. No me canso de verla. Gatlif es un genio... Errol
