This is a fascinating film, beautifully shot, that seems to provide a knowing eye on the Roma population in Romania. The plot is practically meaningless, as we're immersed in gypsy culture as much as the French protagonist is, and that seems to be the point. The Roma actors do capably, especially the chap playing Isidor. This is definitely a sympathetic portrait, though not without showing the blemishes.
