VHS Movie Reviews of Time of the Gypsies [VHS]
Movie Review: Crime against Culture and Liberty
Summary: 5 Stars
At this point in time my only comment can be, that the negligence of not releasing this film on DVD is a crime against culture, liberty and art. Who the hell is responsible for such an oversight. Even the "Pay for View" download from Amazon.com is witheld from customers outside the U.S. It's an absolute scandal. Amazon is certainly guilty in some way. Or is there an excuse - such as imminent terrorist dangers emanating from people outside the U.S. watching this film. For this reason I am boycotting amazon for the time-being.
This film won Emir Kusterica the "Best Director" award (Unanimously!) at the Cannes Film Festival 1989.
Please correct this sorry state of affairs and I will happily spend my money with you again!
Movie Review: Watch it at least once!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen this movie a few times and it's one of my all time favorites. It appears to be out of print on VHS...I think, and it is not available on DVD. I saw it when it came out in the theaters and then went looking for it fairly recently so I could watch it again. The used copy I bought was in so-so condition, but it was worth it. It's about a boy who initially has good intentions when he chooses to work for a con artist to earn enough money to help his family and his girlfriend, but becomes corrupted by the lifestyle. It's a tale that is both touching and comedic, the characters are really strong and the cinematography is great. I also bought the soundtrack, which is one of the best aspects of the film, it's beautiful. Movie Review: no
Summary: 1 Stars
I am surprized everybody likes this movie. Not me. If the movie is not on public channels its not worth it. Like my favored " When Harry met Sallie" which is shown regularly and after I watched it about 20 times I start thinking--United States is communistic country after all.
Additional trouble is I cannot buy this "Time of the gypsies" which again and again proves we dont need it.
Hahaha.
Movie Review: What else can be said...
Summary: 5 Stars
Watched it today for the first time in a couple of years, having managed to seize a used copy from a closing video rental store. I figured it had to have been sold by then, but some sly, kindred soul had actually hidden it deep in the tape racks.
It still is the most harrowing and affecting cinematic odyssey I have ever experienced. Like receiving truth through magic.
How many five star reviews are necessary for distributors to realize the value of this film? Seriously...
Movie Review: Have you ever read such universally rhapsodic reviews?
Summary: 5 Stars
I just want to add my voice to those who have expressed below, with more passion and erudition than I can, how magical this movie is. I saw it, bought it, years ago when I stumbled on it for rent at Tower Records. It is one of the only movies I own, I think about it's imagery all the time, I bring it up anytime anyone asks if I have seen any other movie, and I will always keep a working VCR player until they release it on DVD even if I never watch it again. It opened up a space, a room, in the forefront of my mind - the imagery is burned there, because it surfaces again and again, sharp as it was 15 years ago.
