VHS Movie Reviews of Latcho Drom [VHS]
Movie Review: About the film itself...
Summary: 4 Stars
I had seen this years ago and wanted to have it for future enjoyment -- such a feast of color, music, and dance. Such a testimony to the journey of the people from Rajasthan traveling towards Europe -- the gypsies, the Rom. These many years later, I realize the style/technique of the film is somewhat dated (not a big deal), and that these are actors, not real moments captured on the spot. Very minor disappointment. I still enjoy this film. Movie Review: Very beautyful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the most beautiful films that I have ever seen. Never seen anything like it !Movie Review: evil producers of dvds
Summary: 5 Stars
Why is this movie available in dvd only in region 4 (australia)??? I no longer own a working video cassette player--so I can't watch this movie any more. Why???Movie Review: If you *love* music ...
Summary: 5 Stars
I *love* this film ... over and over I have watched it ... with my kids as they have grown older ... with my friends when they least expected it ... ha!
What a great film ... most of the reviews here are spot on ...
This film brought me closer to Django Rheinhart ... I will let you figure that one out :)

Summary of Latcho Drom [VHS]
This majestic, French-made film wishes viewers a "latcho drom"--a safe journey--as it follows the roots of the Rom, traveling people better known as Gypsies. Stunning and evocative, it transcends language and culture, bringing together the best elements of National Geographic-style documentary and music video in a kind of anthropological MTV. Using only music and image, without any steady characters or plot, award-winning director Tony Gatlif (himself of Rom descent) tells a compelling story of Rom migrations from Northern India to Europe and the rest of the world. Beginning with a gathering of lavishly dressed nomads singing across the harsh deserts of Rajasthan, viewers are transported through the lush oases of Egypt into the ghettoes of Turkey, from the muddy lanes of Eastern Europe through lush French fields to the windswept coastal cities of Spain. Every step of the way, there are hypnotic reminders of the harshness and beauty of the Rom lifestyle: the rhythms of labor pounding into vibrant dance, the songs of Turkish flower sellers merging with the plaintive political satires of a gray-haired Romanian violinist. Music is everywhere--children barely able to walk dance alongside great-grandmothers--and covers all styles and subjects--from the wintry strains of an Auschwitz lament to a flamenco devotional in a Spanish shrine to a festive Dixieland number that borrows as much from New Orleans as from northern India. And wordless stories abound, told in the smiles of strangers waiting for a train or in the frowns of rifle-toting farmers come to evict travelers from their land. --Grant BalfourGeneral Video
