Review of Time of the Gypsies (1988) by Nuvan M — 13 Sep 2010
"Time of the Gypsies" another surrealistic creation of Emir Kusturica, based upon a Roma boy and the way of his choosing life, his insatiate dream. As I was interested about East European Gypsies, the movie influenced me in an exceptional way. Love, trust-mistrust, Greed, Betrayal, affection altogether merged in a simple story. Again the music direction of Goran Bregovic, especially Ederlezi still remain in my heart. But to someone, perhaps, the film might more like to hilarious, yes, its also true, every terrific creation is hilarious.
Another notable thing: in Kusturica's work, theres always a third party observer, an animal or a pet. Like in this film a Turkey and in "Life is a miracle" the Donkey.
