A wonderful movie about the difference between consumption and participation...Sep 23, 2008
By Ronelle Coburn
"Your Destiny Decoder"
Gadjo Dilo is a wonderful meditation of the difference between the idealistic (or, on the other side, racist) arm's-distance view people of one culture can have of another and what it means to see others as yourself (or yourself as other). The great irony, of course, as a viewer of this film, is that you yourself are just a passing voyeur who consumes a bit of Rom culture for as long as its on the screen...then you return to the life you actually have, wherever you are. An absorbing story draws you in and gives you just a little taste of what it means to be Rom in modern times...and how it hasn't changed much over the centuries.

Starts slowly but beautifulMar 17, 2009
By W. James D. Easton
In various languages with subtitles.
Tour de force of cultural and language misunderstandings. I laughed. I cried. An emotional roller coaster that grabs one's heart. Compelling love and ghastly murders all intimately intertwined. Beautiful music and dancing for intermissions. Awesome.

my current favorite dvdOct 14, 2010
By Picky
this is both the saddest and funniest, but I don't know if you don't speak french (but there are subtitles). well, the music alone is worth it
 Interesting lifestyleDec 27, 2011
By Donald J. Marchand
I find the Roma(Gypsy)people and their lifestyle very interesting. Their colorful style of clothes, their music and occupations, and their old-fashioned close-knit family way of life are great. A lot of American modern families split up and go separate ways. But I cannot watch this with my family because of the nudity in a couple places and off-color language in some places. The scenery and the beautiful ladies are great though. I'll probably watch it again without the subtitles. I'd also recommend the film Latcho Drom, also directed by Tony Gatlif. A film filled with the Roma people and their music, from India to Spain. (No nudity or off-color language)
Funny. Beautiful.Nov 25, 2011
By Danielle F. Holke
"lily dustbin"
This is one of my favourite movies of all time. I love that the main character is the "crazy stranger"; marginalised by a group that's usually being marginalised by everyone else. Beautiful and funny. Highly recommend it.
