4.0 out of 5 stars
Passionate Gypsy music making,
This review is from: Swing [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Australia ] (DVD)
In `Swing' Tony Gatlif gives a very passionate insight into Gypsy music making. The acting and plot are minimal and the movie is a vehicle for the stunning musical performances. Max is about thirteen and writes letters in exchange for Manouche jazz guitar lessons. Max also falls in love with a Gypsy girl named Swing, who is a feisty tom-boy. These young leads do an excellent job and very obviously have a lot of fun. The story line doesn't flow all that well but then standard musicals don't flow either. It is an insight into the importance and place of music in the Gypsy way of life. This is a wonderful movie that has great emotional impact.

This review is from: Swing [NTSC/REGION 1 & 4 DVD. Import-Latin America] (DVD)
This is a wonderful movie, I just did not realize I was ordering a French movie with Spanish subtitles! I thought it had English subtitles, at least as an option. Oh well.
