5.0 out of 5 stars You should see it, April 10, 2001

This review is from: Time of the Gypsies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It was my first Kosturitza movie and since then I have watched most of them. Time of the Gypsies still remains my favorite (Black Cat White Cat is getting close). The story is about a gypsy who has to make a life choice and he chooses wrong, losing his closest people. A sad and very well done film. Coming from a region very close to Yugoslavia and knowing well the lifestyle of Easter European gypsies, I can say that the portrayal of the gypsies is very accurate.

But perhaps the best part of the movie is its music--Goran Bregovich is unbelievable. Even if all of my above comments are ignored, the soundtrack alone is worth watching teh entire movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still haunting after 5 years of living in the oblivion, January 3, 2000

This review is from: Time of the Gypsies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I want to thank my ex-girlfriend for introducing me this film that is simply beyond words.

I usually do not enjoy watching subtitled movies, but this one transcends even my insurmountable laziness.

Be careful: this one will haunt you for the rest of your life.

And ignore Maltin, who appears to have lost in the world of tightly managed Hollywood flicks. Don't get me wrong; I do enjoy Hollywood movies. Usually, I go for silly comedies over supposedly arty films.

But I am not blind.

This review is from: Time of the Gypsies [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I decided to make, instead of the review, a comment of the film:
I couldn't believe what I was watching at the first 10 minutes. I didn't know if I had to laught, cry or just stare at the tv.
The history of the characters is amazing. One by one envolves you and introduce you to their owne history.
The music is unbelievable, is perfect.
El film por completo es exelente.
Forgive me for the grammar mistakes.
