Convinced that her one-time lover Milan (Marco Castoldi) has been deported by French authorities and determined to let him know about his unborn child, Zingarina (Asia Argento), travels to Romania in the company of her motherly friend Marie (Amira Casar) in hopes of seeking out the elusive musician. Though Zingarina does eventually\u00a0track Milan to a remote village festival, the rejection she is faced with soon drives the troubled mother-to-be to ditch her friend Marie during the trip back to France. Now wandering the Romanian countryside as her future grows ever more bleak, Zingarina enters into a tentative romance with itinerant trader Tchangalo (Birol \u00dcnel), whose gruff exterior masks a sensual inner beauty. \u00a0~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi<\/p>\n<h5>\u25ca \u00a0Korkoro \u00a0\u2193 \u00a0(\u00abFreedom\u00bb) \u00a0[trailer _ 2009]<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Korkoro (\u00abAlone\u00bb in the Romani language) is a 2009 French drama film written and directed by Tony Gatlif, starring French actors Marc Lavoine, Marie-Jos\u00e9e Croze and James Thi\u00e9rr\u00e9e. The film&#8217;s cast were of many nationalities such as Albanian, Kosovar, Georgian, Serbian, French, Norwegian, and the nine Romanies Gatlif found in Transylvania.<br \/>Based on an anecdote about the Second World War by the Romani (Gypsy) historian Jacques Sigot, the film was inspired by the true life of a Romani who escaped the Nazis with help from French villagers, and depicts the rarely documented subject of Porajmos (the Romani Holocaust). Other than the Romanies, the film has a character representing the French Resistance based on Yvette Lundy, a French teacher deported for forging the passports for Romanies. Gatlif intended the film to be a documentary, but the lack of supporting documents caused him instead to present it as a drama.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Wu8KPxRKe1E\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em><strong>\u00abYou don&#8217;t kill a gypsy by cutting him in ten pieces &#8211; you only make ten more gypsies.\u00bb \u00a0<\/strong> <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<address style=\"text-align: right;\">&#8211; \u00a0Gipsy Proverb<\/address>\n\n\n<p>\u2666  <strong>Canta Gitano \/ Corre Gitano  \u2193  <\/strong> [1982]<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lZ-7tn5ue5U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<p> \u2666 &#8216;Gadjo Dilo&#8217; \u2193 [1998] <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In this comedy-drama, Stephane (Romain Duris), a young man from France (\u00abPayo loco\u00bb = &#8216;The Crazy Stranger&#8217;), travels to Romania on a mission; his father has recently passed away, and since the old man&#8217;s favorite singer was an unrecorded gypsy vocalist from Romania, he has [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":26552,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[272],"tags":[194,200],"class_list":["post-26551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film-directors","tag-full-film","tag-documentary","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=26551"}],"version-history":[{"count":39,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26551\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53609,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26551\/revisions\/53609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/26552"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=26551"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=26551"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/englishroam.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=26551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
